"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill will definitely ban smoking in all areas. I am sure hon. Muturi will be affected because he is one of those who smoke in many places. I also come from a tobacco growing area and some of my constituents also grow it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I come to that, I will first make a comment on July 5, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2337 one of the issues in this Bill, particulary in respect to the Clause on the prohibited smoking areas. If you look at Clause 33 from Subclause (1), where it says:- \"No person shall smoke in any public place.\" Subclause (2) states:- \"Without prejudice to the generality of Subsection (1), no person shall smoke in---\" The areas are listed there and they include, the offices, the workplaces, including corridors, lounges, eating areas, reception areas, lifts, escalators, foyers, stairways, toilets, laundries, amenity areas and such places. That is only part (a) alone. If you have not looked at section (b), it lists them as, court buildings, factories, cinema halls, video halls and so on. Part (e) lists, hospitals and restaurants, hotels, children's homes and so on. If you look at part (h), there is some interest. It lists residential houses. In my dwelling house, where I reside; why should you be prevented from smoking from your own residential house? That is your house, where you live. Why should you be prevented from smoking while there? You can drink or do what you like from that house."
