“There must only be restrictions because there are many smokers without a clue”

Helena Coelho was not indifferent to a news that came to the public at the end of last week and that realized that passive smoking killed almost 1,800 portuguese in 2019, according to data published by the Sociedade Portuguesa de Pneumologia (SPP).

The same note also noted that pulmonologists “want restrictions on terraces”, precisely because of the consequences of involuntary exposure to tobacco.

“Restrictions everywhere, please. Anyone who chooses not to smoke and even more children doesn't have to take on other people's passive smoke! In fact, there need only be restrictions because there are many smokers without a clue”, fired digital content creator Helena Coelho, who is the mother of Iris – five years old.

Also Jessica Antunes publicly commented on the possibility of restrictions on smoking grounds as a way to avoid passive smoking. 

“I don’t like to comment on “polémic” and controversial issues... But in fact, it's completely absurd that we're in a place trying to breathe fresh air and have someone smoking literally on top of us and our children. And no, I don’t have to take refuge inside buildings to be able to breathe to the pure”, defended the commentator and former competitor of reality shows. 

“ This would not even be a topic if common sense and respect for others, as well as knowing how to live in society, were something normal”, he continued, telling then a recent situation he went through and, in his opinion, is revealing the lack of care of some smokers.

“ More serious than that, I have had (recently) people get into our cars, with our children inside, including, and ask for permission to smoke. No notion”, lamented.

Jessica Antunes is the mother of two children, four-year-old Isaac, and two-year-old Benedita, both the result of her marriage to Rui Figueiredo.
