Tuesday, November 26, took place the officialization of the non-smoking area at P'tit Parc de Chille. “This is a project started a year ago at the call of the Jura committee of the League Against Cancer,” said the mayor, Maurice Gallet. In order to reduce the risks of passive smoking, the Chille municipal council has engaged, via an agreement voted on by the municipal council, with the Jura committee of the League Against Cancer. This agreement allows the municipality to include the P'tit Parc de Chille in a tobacco-free space approach.
For health but also for the environment
The limit of this tobacco-free space is now materialized by explanatory panels which were unveiled by Maurice Gallet and Gérard Guillemaud, president of the Jura committee of the League against Cancer. “This prevention work is certainly ambitious, but necessary,” said the latter. You should know that tobacco is responsible for 75,000 deaths per year. In France, nearly 1,100 deaths are linked to passive smoking. It is therefore important to inform smokers and non-smokers on this subject. Additionally, smoking has a significant impact on the environment. Maintaining spaces without cigarette butts generates less pollution. »
