A tough new law designed to protect the health and sensibilities of went into effect requiring restaurant owners and other business proprietors to banish tabacco users to special areas away from Ihe general public. The law, titled the "Utah Indoor Clean Air Act," was passed earlier this year by the state legislature, which is dominated by members of the Mormon Church. A Mormon tenet discourages the use of tobacco, alcohol and coffee. Smokers who refuse to accept their exile face a $299 fine. Proprieters who refuse to post "no smoking" signs or to erect barriers segregating implementing the new law must still be formally adopted by the State Board of Health after a public hearing. "For the next few weeks, we'll just be trying them out to see how they work," he said. Utah has always had laws smokers and non - smokers fact both the fine and a 90 day jail sentence. But state and local health officials, who must enforce the law, predicted they will no charges the first day, bring or in the next few weeks. "No citations will be issued until people have had a time to become familiar with the law," said Dr. Harry Gibbons, director of the Salt Lake which Health Department, must oversee the law in Utah's largest metropolitan area. "We are not going to clobber anybody right away," he said. "It has to be a cooperative thing. I see no way to enforce this law unless people help us." "This thing has got to be done in a spirit of cooperation," added Mervin Reid. director of sanitation for the Utah Health against smoking in public laws that were seldom enforced because police departments figured they had better things to do.

Only taverns that do not serve meals can be designated as smoking areas in their entirety. Though the rules are aimed primarily at restaurants, the legislature also extended them to cover "offices, shops, warehouses, factories, mines and similar places of employment not usually frequented by the general public." "I really don't see any problems with the law." said Gibbons. "It's long overdue. It's only common sense that people should be able to breathe the air." Gibbons also said he was "astonished at the number of people who have already taken steps to provide separate places for smokers and many restaurant But opera- tors complain that the law forces them to become policemen. "If a customer sitting in the wrong area lights up a cigar after spending $30 or $40 on a meal, how are you going to throw him out." said Ted Speros. owner of Lambs Restaurant in Salt Lake City, and a past president of the Utah Restaurant Association. "It seems to me you can accomplish a lot more by educating the public about the hazards of smoking than by forcing something down people's throats." he said.

But Britain and France opposed any final decision on the elections issue. Even the summit host, Luxembourg Premier Gaston Thorn, admitted in a interview today newspaper that if the parliament issue was not resolved, "we will then have to say the Luxembourg council has failed." With little agreement likely on political matters, the summit's focus shifted to proposals by French President Valery Gsicard d'Estaing for reforms of the Common Market joint monetary lineup, known as the "snake." Under the current system, most member nations' currencies are pegged to within 2 25 per cent of each other and flaot up and down in unison against the dollar. France had to drop out of the "snake" last month because its franc could not keep up with the West German mark and the British pound and Italian lira dropped out for similar reasons years ago. Informed sources said Giscard's reforms would be aimed at making it easier for weaker currencies to stay in the snake. Germans, But the among West others, opposed the idea.

The Chamber of Deputies was scheduled to convene shortly afterwards to vote on amendments to the first five and most controversial-artic- les of the legislation. A vote on the entire bill was tentatively set for next Wednesday, with the survival of Moro's weak-partminority government probably pivoting on the outcome. Politicians said the break- down of compromise talks may lead the Socialists to turn from abstention to opposition in any confidence future votes, causing the government's fall.
