The health-educational mandate of the delegates - the nonsmoker protection!?

(openPR) - from the obligation to the health-fair Lebensführung

Not least the debate around the nonsmoker protection makes clear that the legislator is quite determined to take and convert its health-educational mandate - as in the rest of also its family-political conceptions - in the thing quite seriously. Resistance against the nonsmoker protection moved rarely and if, then only halfheartedly in an emotional loaded discussion. That the nonsmoker protection to ensure is, can not seriously be denied. The medical data situation for this is clear and therefore has we also understanding, if the president of the Federal Medical Society from the view of its Profession the law welcomes all in front. Whether it is however necessary, a general prohibition of smoking in all restaurants to issue restaurants and Discotheken remains still doubtfuly and in certain respects also constitutionally precariously. With the categorical prohibition we are in the process giving the liberty thoughts up as elementary principle of our legal order. Instead of setting on the individual responsibility of each particular, the state decided for penalty-reinforced national intervention and with the nonsmoker protection in the liberty rights intervened directly in such a way.

The president of the BÄK practiced violent criticism at the land agreement to the prohibitions of smoking in the restaurants. The compromise with the separated smoker rooms is inkonsequent and unsatisfactorily “, so „Hoppe. It points out in this connection that a smokeless job is refused to the coworkers in the catering trade in this way. The policy breaks itself „too much the head over the interests of the smoking guests and thinks too few of the persons employed in the catering trade “, criticized Hoppe. One must struggle through oneself to a general prohibition of smoking „without Hintertürchen “.

Me however the compromise seems to be only too consistent, since the interests of the smoking guests can be regarded also as protect worth, may these also in an health-endangering Lebensführung exist. The regulations to the nonsmoker protection cannot reduce the liberty rights with view of the solely responsible Lebensführung to zero, so that indeed „only “a compromise might prove as constitutionally load-carrying. The suggestion from Lower Saxony points m.E into the correct direction, although also this too briefly seizes. Why does it require a national intervention, if the individual citizens certainly can decide whether and which restaurant visits etc. it It not sense to make to leave to the operators the decision over it whether they decide for a smokeless restaurant, in order to be able to hope so if necessary for a competition advantage opposite other competitors And why the offerer of gastronomischer achievements is not to be able to address its offer also to both groups, if and as far as he creates for this the structural conditions

Questions, which still await m.E to a plausible answer. A further discussion would be certainly dispensable, if thereby creeping the obligation were to be justified for health-fair Lebensführung. No borders are set to the fantasy for possible further cuts into the right sphere of the citizens and suggestions for this find we in a most interesting contribution of Paul Kirchhof, from whom I may quote here:

„The first thought on the discharge of the medicine budget aims at the direct responsibility of the patient, who an health-endangering Lebensführung to omit or at least financially should carry the consequences of the self endangerment. Of course we could relieve the accident surgeon, if we would only build cars with a top speed of 30 km/h. We could exempt the internalists from substantial tasks, if we would forbid the consumption of alcohol and tobacco categorically. We could reduce the number of the kardiologischen beds, if we would let the weight of each citizen examine each month by a national weight commissioner.
However the price of this health care would be an elementary loss at liberty. Liberty is called, its life arranges and thereby of others to differentiate to be allowed itself. Who trains itself sportily, has special body strength and a good health, who instead a music instrument practices, achieves a special degree of the education, perhaps in addition, health-substantial Blässe. Who exerts in the business life, its liberty uses to incomes and wealth, can endanger thereby in addition, its health; who prefers the idle course, the liberty of the loads of the acquisition striving selects, can however at the same time economic bases of a healthy Lebensführung to miss have. Who uses its spare time for kinds of risk haven, the liberty of venture and self endangerment looks for and sees straight therein a punchline of its life; who instead the contemplative maintains, the liberty prefers to self view and thoughtfulness. “

In addition, Kirchhof states that the respective initial positions from the liberty-entitled are to be answered for to, as far as they caused and therefore into the perception of their liberty right included these effects willentlich.

Nothing else applies to the smoker or nonsmoker. Also these have their own will with the possibility for the decision whether they would like to visit a smoker or a nonsmoker restaurant. Here we should also leave it, so that the land compromise in the result appears also constitutionally required.
