		Quebec is heading toward a total ban on smoking in such public places as restaurants, bars, bingo halls and casinos - possibly as early as this fall - Health Minister Philippe Couillard said yesterday.
		In announcing a fresh round of public consultations on Quebec's tobacco laws, Couillard said there is a growing social consensus that the days of smoking in public places are coming to an end because no one can ignore the effects of secondhand smoke on nonsmokers.
		Couillard went so far as to say it is "unethical" to expose people to such smoke because studies show it has a deadlier chemical content than that inhaled by smokers.
