He mentioned tobacco smoking and the ill effects it has on children.</p>\n<p>In Nova Scotia the provincial government recently put in what it would call a tough anti-smoking law. The reality is it is not that tough at all. Smoking is still allowed in many public places.</p>\n<p>The hon. member is a medical professional. Would he agree with what I have been trying to say back home, that smoking should be banned, period, in all public gathering places to prevent secondhand smoke and also to deter people from smoking in the presence of other people?</p>",
