Adopted by the 175th WMA Council Meeting, Pilanesberg,
South Africa, October 2006
Recognizing the abundant evidence linking adverse health outcomes
and exposure to second-hand smoke; and
Noting that despite this new evidence many countries still allow
smoking in public areas;
The World Medical Association:
- Congratulates the French government and French physicians
for the introduction of legislation that would ban smoking in
public areas; and
- Urges other National Medical Associations to advocate for
similar legislative changes in their own countries if such legislation
does not exist.
