Should there be more smoke-free zones in Luxembourg?

France is introducing more smoke-free zones, e.g. on beaches, in public parks and in forests, to combat tobacco consumption. DP MP Gusty Graas has asked the Minister of Health whether more smoke-free zones should also be introduced in Luxembourg.

Question

« La France compte à ce jour plus de 7.200 espaces sans tabac à travers plus de 73 départements. Lors de la présentation à la presse du programme national de lutte contre le tabac, le ministre de la Santé français a annoncé que le « sans tabac » deviendra désormais la norme en France.

Les espaces sans tabac seront donc généralisés à toutes les plages, parcs publics, forêts, et aux abords de certains lieux publics, tel que les établissements scolaires.

À ce sujet, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Madame la Ministre, quel est son avis sur l’extension des espaces sans tabac en France ?
  • Une mesure similaire serait-elle envisageable pour le Luxembourg afin de lutter contre le tabagisme ?

La France interdira également la vente des cigarettes électroniques jetables (« puffs »), en raison des risques qu’elles présentent pour la santé publique ainsi que pour l’environnement.

  • Madame la Ministre, serait-il opportun d’envisager une interdiction des « puffs » également pour le Luxembourg ? Dans la négative, pour quelles raisons ? »

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.
