Most Danes have three regular meals a day, usually consisting of a cold breakfast with coffee or tea, a cold lunch at work and a hot dinner at home with the family. Some also have a snack in the middle of the afternoon or in the late evening. Meat, especially pork, is by far the most common ingredient of hot meals.

For more than 100 years the production of pigs and pig meat was a major source of income in Denmark. The Danish pig industry is among the world’s leaders in areas such as breeding, quality, food safety, animal welfare and traceability creating the basis for Denmark being among the world’s largest pig meat exporters.

Denmark is known around the world for its bike culture, and the fact that our country is quite flat is definitely an advantage in this matter. But we also have more than 12,000km of cycle tracks and lanes throughout the country which makes biking in Denmark a safe and respected way to travel.

COPENHAGEN, July 27 (Xinhua) — Smoking is a common phenomenon in Denmark, especially in Copenhagen. According to a recent survey conducted by the State Institute of Public Health, 46% of Danish upper-secondary students smoke either daily or occasionally. Not only young people smoke, but also older people too.

Nevertheless, according to relatively recent Eurostat figures, only 12 to 13 percent of the Danish smokers do so on a daily basis. The Sundhedsstyrelsen figures also include ‘party smokers’, it transpires in the small print of its release.

Denmark. Since 15 August 2007, smoking in hospitality facilities, restaurants, bars, clubs, public transport, and all private and public workplaces has been forbidden. Exemptions to the law are bars with a floor space of less than 40m2.

At the risk of damning it with faint praise, Denmark is the most liberal Scandinavian country with more tolerant smoking laws and lower taxes on alcohol and tobacco than its neighbours to the north.

Compared to most countries in the Western world, Denmark has had a very lenient smoking policy. Cigarette prices are relatively low and the first law restricting smoking in public places was adopted in 2007. In August 2012 smoking was fully banned for students, employees and visitors at Danish school grounds.

Among these, Ireland, Greece, Bulgaria, Malta, Spain and Hungary have the strictest smoke-free provisions with a complete ban on smoking in enclosed public places, on public transport and in workplaces, with only limited exceptions allowed.

5 In 1991 the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) announced tobacco control standards for accredited American hospitals which mandated that they go smoke-free by 31 December 1993.

Residents who smoke in communal areas can be prosecuted by the local authority and fined up to £200. Signage announcing that the premises are smoke-free must be placed in all blocks with internal communal areas. If they do not challenge smokers they can be fined.

Currently, there is no statewide law prohibiting smoking in private residential units in California, such as apartments and condos. In addition, Burbank prohibits people from smoking in private non-enclosed areas of a unit, such as a balcony or patio.

Can I smoke if my apartment has a Juliet balcony? Unfortunately No. A Juliet balcony is not classed as being able to provide you with an outdoor area for smoking, and does not prevent smoke or ash for entering the apartment.

There is no such thing as a constitutional “right to smoke,” since the U.S. Constitution does not extend special protection to smokers. Smoking is not a specially protected liberty right under the Due Process Clause of the Constitution.

Although there’s no federal prohibition against discriminating based on smoking (being a smoker is not a protected class in any federal regulation), more than half of states do have some form of prohibition of exactly that. Some states outright prohibit discriminating against tobacco users.

Non-smokers might be surprised to learn they are allowed a 20 minute break themselves if they work for six hours or more each day. If smokers want to use that time to smoke then they can, but that doesn’t stop non-smokers from being entitled to taking that same 20 minute chunk of time off.
