No protection against smoke

Children with learning disabilities are not protected by new Danish law about smoking when they are staying with foster families.
In a newspaper article in a local newspaper JP-Århus today, Tuesday 21.08.07 politicians from Ministry of Health say that the effort from foster families, although payed, where children with learning disabilities often stay seven days or more every month, is not regarded as work.
Therefore the foster families are allowed to smoke when they take care of children with learning disabilities in their homes.
The new law was introduced recently and main purpose of the law is to protect the population against the danger of passive smoking.
