A2 -The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 5, 2001 Health officer rips into gov't for delay of smoke ban regs THE NORTHWEST'S health officer is shocked at the provincial government for delaying the introduc- tion of second hand smoke regulations for bars and restaurants. “The evidence of the health hazard has been firmly established, so ob- viously any delay for the second hand smoke regu- lations is a setback for. public health,” said Dr. Isaac Sobol of the North- west Community Health Services Society. He was reacting to the Aug. 22 announcement that the government has asked the Workers’ Cam- pensation Board for a Erom front delay in banning smoking in bars and restavrants to a committee of MLAs stu- dies possible modifica- tions. New regulations were supposed te come in as of Sept. 10 but the govern- ment move has effectively put off any introduction of amended regulations until next spring. “This decision puts. bu- siness before the health of the people who work in these industries,” said Sobol of those employed in the food and beverage sectors. “Righty-five per cent of the workers in the province have been protected from second hand smoke by WCB regulations since 1998, yet the remaining 15 per cent, a large proportion of whom are youth and women, are still waiting for that. protection,” said Sobol. He called the delay as something being applau- ded by the tobacco indu- stry. Sobol added that veati- lation systems, an oft-re- peated hospitality industry Suggestion to avoid a com- plete ban, aren't an option to be considered. “No health organization has found a ventilation system that can effectively solve the problem of sec- See Dr. Isaac Sobol ond hand smoke,” said Sobol, Abandoning Nisga a suit © won't end govt treaty plans | ted. The treaty therefore doesn’t amount to a third order of government and was upheid by the court. Plant said he hopes that judgment could yet be overturned by some future court case. In future trealy settle- ments, he said, the gov- ernment will seek to ne- gotiate delegated munici- pal-style self-government. “It’s not in anyone’s in- terest to set up aboriginal governments that are set in constitutional concrete,” he said.

The Nisga’a treaty still faces three other court challenges. One is brought by the B.C, Fisheries Survival Coalition, another is from Nass valley non-native re- sident Lloyd Brinson, and the third is from Frank Barton, a former Kincolith resident living in Rich- mond. "Nothing that we have done will prevent those cases from proceeding,” the attorney general said.
