Tobacco-Free will in 2002 give the work concerning smoke-free bars and restaurants and introducing a licensing system for tobacco sales high priority. In order to improve the working environment for the waiters, it is necessary to establish smoke-free bars and restaurants. Establishing of smoke-free bars and restaurants will also increase the accessibility to people that is bothered by passive smoking and reduce smoking among adolescence. The introduction of an 18-year limit for buying tobacco has not reduced smoking among youngsters and even 14-years old children can today easily buy the own cigarettes in Norway. Experience from other countries has demonstrated that it is necessary to introducing a licensing system for tobacco sales in order to reduce tobacco sale to under age adolescence.
