The humorist and columnist for Gazeta do Povo Luis Fernando Verissimo predicted in a chronicle published in 80 years, a third world war fought between smokers and nonsmokers. A former smoker who lit a cigarette would not only be considered a weakness: it would be tried for desertion and shot. Hype aside, the new smokefree laws in Curitiba and Paraná, which come into force in November served to inflame the minds of smokers who advocate freedom of food addiction, and passive smoking, fighting for the right to breathe without inhale the cigarette smoke of others.
Signed by Mayor Beto Richa (PSDB) on 19 August, Curitiba law should come into force in November, and the bill passed Tuesday by the Legislative Assembly and is awaiting sanction of the Governor Roberto Requião (PMDB). About to be evicted from the bars, which tend to associate the pleasures of drink and cigarette smokers, mostly criticizing the new laws. Some even admit that smoking is bad, but opposed to the rigidity of the standard.
"I think healthy to prohibit smoking, but there should be a space for those who smoke," argues the student Anelise Jarenko of 24 years. In the same table Bar Folha Seca, in the neighborhood Agua Verde, non-smoking Ricardo Pupo, 29, showed tolerance for smokers. "For me, ban or not is irrelevant," he said. "I do not mind the cigarette smoke."
At the counter of Zezito's Bar, also in Green Water, The Aviator Jose Neto, 52, and the seller Josane Schmin, 50, shoot: "It's ridiculous!" Josane says he'll stop going to bars when the law comes into force. "I will continue smoking at home," he says. For the airman, air pollution can be more evil to the non smokers who smoke cigarettes. "The trucks are still walking with diesel engines regulated, and the authorities do not care," he criticizes.
Although smoking, the seller Sidney Pazza, 45, supports the law. "Every time I go out and smoke, when I get home I have to change clothes because of the smell of smoke permeated" he said.
A table of nonsmokers Zezito's, the designer Jean Hoffmann, 21, was one of the most adamant supporters of smokefree legislation. "Excellent, for non-smokers is the best thing that has," he praises. "It had to be like in Japan to ban smoking in the street and make separate cabins for smokers."
Even among bar owners there are those who support the restriction on cigarettes. The owner's Zezito, José Antonio Viera Negrão, Juca, says he agrees "in gender, number and degree" with the new standard. It guarantees not to fear the fall of the movement. "Botequeiro is botequeiro nevertheless come to the bar just because they can not smoke," he said. "Just to give you an idea: four months ago that seeing the cigarette counter and the movement did not.
André Neves, owner of Folha Seca, says it is against the law, but argues that there should have been more discussion. "We are there to enforce the law, but it will give a lot of headaches," he predicts. "I want to start putting warnings before the entry into force." For him, it must cause a small initial drop in the movement. "But once people get used," he adds.
