Every weekend, Nguyen Hoai Anh (Linh Dam, Hoang Mai District, Hanoi) often take their children to play and eat outside. But once at the restaurant, she was afraid of cigarette smoke affecting the health of the baby. So, I often look to the smoke-free restaurant. Hoai Anh said: "In a limited space, many people in the restaurant, the inhalation of tobacco smoke is torture results for non-smokers, especially children and women." Tran Minh Thuy (Vu Ngoc Phan, Dong Da, Hanoi) said, at noon, she often stays agencies, goes out to eat, she was afraid of cigarette smoke. So, knowing Hue Restaurants (Lang Ha Street, Dong Da), she is used to come here with  her colleagues for lunch.

Representative of Hue Restaurant said that the whole system of restaurants are non-smoking regulations. For the successful implementation of smoke-free environment, restaurants have banned smoking, no ashtrays present, no selling cigarettes and often having people reminding customers.
