      Health Minister Proposes Smoke-Free Gov't Buildings


      Health Minister Yaakov Ben-Yizri said Tuesday at an anti-smoking conference that he will be submitting a law that would make all government offices smoke-free.

      He said he would examine the issues surrounding turning at least all Health Ministry buildings into places where smoking is banned.

      Ben-Yizri said that statistically, the number of Israeli smokers has not declined over recent years.
