"The law also protects people from the harmful effects of secondhand secondhand smoke, which has been linked to lung cancer in non-smokers and to respiratory problems in children and infants," the minister added. Smoking is not allowed anywhere at facilities used by young people, such as schools, day nurseries and children's hospitals. Smoking is also prohibited in a wide range of public places, such as stores, financial insti- Safe Driving Week Held December 1 st to 7th (December 1-7,1994) Ottawa, Canada - The Canada Safety Council is pleased to announce announce its 39th annual National Safe Driving Week, which takes place December December 1-7, every year.
