Best way to stop smoking Unfortunately there has been several deaths, and several thousand infections from the H1N1 virus (more commonly known as the Swine flu virus), the world's most recently declared pandemic by the WHO(World Health Organisation). As with any flu what makes this virus easily transferred is via passive means, inhaling the germs from a cough, or a sneeze from an infeted individual is enough to initiate infection. Even breathing in fumes from others albeit regarded differently for so long, can in the long run prove even more dangerous, it is a well known fact that passive smoking is just as effective as if the individual inhaled the nicotine directly from a cigarette themselves. With governments around the world struggling to pass information about how the H1N1 is being passed and how it may be prevented, governments around the world especially in Europe have started a national scheme where smoking is no longer allowed in public venues and buildings. Scotland was one of the first countries in Europe to initiate this banning of smoking from all pubs and public buildings. This it initiated in 2006, soon after MP's(Member of Parliament) in England voted to equally ban smoking in public places, in a concerted effort to improve public health. There was expected protests from pub owners, regarding this stop smoking campaign, and other public venues where smoking was previously allowed complained that a large percentage of their customer base would be driven away if smoking was no longer being allowed on the premises, and sure enough their customer base did decline, for a while, but there is evidence now that these venues are thriving once more, with a healthier atmosphere, new customer bases have been formed, as many who would have been put off with going to a venue where they may be subject to passive smoking can now freely attend such a venue without having to worry about second hand smoke. This new legislation has made it paramount for smokers to quit smoking and to find an easy way to stop smoking, which with viruses like the H1N1 strain can only increase the pressure of being passively safe. Along with nicotine patches and nicotene gums there are several available techniques, schemes and methods out there to help be smoke free, healthy, and back to a fantastic standard of living.
