Second-hand smoke problems in offices network in Japan

We are the people fighting against second-hand smoke problems in worlplaces in Japan.
This organaization is composed of people who took leagal measures against second-hand smoke problems in workplaces.
To our sadness, we were only organaizairon promoting 100% smoke-free in Japan.
We feel that this problems is peculiar to Japanese society. Because Japanese people are tend to ignore justice and act by emotion ,not by logic. including Japanese anti-smok organization.
No matter how dangerous the second-hand smoking is , Japanese people never prhibit smoking.
People ,who have sences of justice and act with logic, are forced to struggle.
We are trying to change this trend. And results is now coming.
We principally uses English in order to avoid other anti-smoking organaizaiton's malconducts.here.

Announcement from second-hand smoke problem in offices network in Japan.
Fukushima nuclear power plant crisis inevitably causes health risks to residents in Kanto district.
But that risks are predictably estimated at rhe same leval as or less than those of smoking.
Japanese concerning public health issues must realize the fact and think what should be done to offset the health risls caused by nuclear power plant.(2011.3.25)
　

Our memorable founder
Founder Mr. Kawamura	Our founder is employee of Edogawa city ,Tokyo,Japan He sued for health damages caused by second-hand smoke in government buildinsgs of Edogawa city.hall No matter how the Edogawa city mayor was aginst him, No matter how he was discriminated in wages and promotion and so on, he never stoped fighting. He fought in Tokyo district court without lawyer. Because lawyers avoided him, worrying that tabacco issues may have influenced their human-relationships in lawyers. Many of lawyers smoke in Japan. His fight was lonely way, but he had never gave up. In trial, Edogawa city admitted that they had connection with tabacco industries. And Edogawa city insisted that opinions by tabacco industries that second-hand smoke had no harm was true.. Mayor Masami Tada was completely against banning smoking. He insisted that letting people smoke was inportant service of government. So he newly orderd to build smoking areas in the already non-smoking buildings, using a large amount of taxes. Ｈｅ won a lawasuit aginst Edogawa city on secxond-hand smoke on Sep 12th ,2004. This was the the first time ruling in Japan that an employer must pay compensation to an office worker for health problems stemming from second-hand smoke at the workplace But from Apil 1st,2005 ,he was ordered to work in smoking workplace again. He brought suit against this insistining tjatj thisi was retaliation by Mayor. This time,Japanese supreme court finally rulled that employee must tolerate second -hand smoke.and employer could discriminate the complaining employeeThere were many curious things happened in this lawsuit. might be influenced by something, Japanese government owns tobacco company. The most sad thing was that nobady helped him including medical specialists, lawyers politicians, and also anti-smokists. He had to fight alone Maybe he himself was liquidated by Edogawa city mayor. But his will lasts foreever. He is our honorable memory.

Tobacco prpblems and social reform
We regard the right for non-smoking office envioronment as common sence. But in Japan ,they say a person who protest against second-hand smoke is crazy. And Judicial Power in Japan is also against anti second-hand smoke. We think this is related with the judicial bureaucrat corruprion. So we also do social reform related to Judicial power as one of our action. 　Our accusation of Leakage of secrets incidents in Fukuoka district public prosecuter's office ,Tokyo supreme court judge buying female child's body incidents and so on, reformed Japanese society.

Our goal is 100% smokefree workpalce.

Look the papers below.

Designated "no smoking" areas provide from partial to no protection from environmental tobacco smoke
Airport smoking rooms don’t work

Look the article below.
Shutting the Door on ETS Leakage

FTCT

Findings of the technical feasability study on Smoking rooms

Ventilations and designated smoking rooms do not prevent exposure to second0phand tobacco smoke.

Evidences show us that the right way to avoid second-hand smoke is to prohibit smoking perfectly in buildings. Kawamura also confirmed in the field that there are leakages from heavily depressurized smoking rooms just by opening and closing the sliding door ,and entering and exiting of smokers.
We must not to admit building smoking rooms.Those are wrong mesures, not based on scientific evidences . We must aim at 100% indoor smoke-free..

Our assertations have been regarded as absurdities.
We are stepping forward to change Japan.
