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 ? »

DP MPs Carole Hartmann and Mandy Minella have asked the relevant ministers whether paid dispensation from work or an equivalent mechanism will be introduced for pregnant self-employed workers.

Introduction of skin cancer screening?

Since 2008, skin cancer screening has been available in Germany for all policyholders aged 35 and over. As a result, many cases of skin cancer are detected earlier.
DP MPs André Bauler and Gilles Baum wanted to know from the Minister for Health how skin cancer figures have developed here in the country since 2013, whether such screening would also be useful in Luxembourg and why only figures for melanoma (black skin cancer) are collected.
