Let’s have a total ban on workplace smoking

Prof Luke Clancy (Irish Examiner, June 18) on the proposed ban on smoking in the workplace.

The foundation expects Health Minister Micheál Martin to introduce this legislation in its entirety. Major international research clearly shows that passive smoke kills.

Let's not concern ourselves with the policing of this legislation this is a secondary debate, which is being used by some to corrupt the serious health issues involved.
