T\u0131pk\u0131 ge\u00e7ti\u011fimiz hafta ya\u015fanan av kazas\u0131nda oldu\u011fu gibi.

Her iki taraf da birbirinden \u00f6z\u00fcr diledi. Polis, yasal inceleme gerektirmeyen bu dosyay\u0131 kurcalamaktan vazge\u00e7ti. Herkesin merakla bekledi\u011fi av kazas\u0131 mutlu sonla noktalanm\u0131\u015f gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcnse de bu olay Washington\u2019da i\u015flerin ne kadar gizli ve derinden yol ald\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n \u00e7arp\u0131c\u0131 bir \u00f6rne\u011fi olarak Amerikan siyaset tarihinde yerini ald\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amerika\u2019da inan\u0131lmaz bir sigara yasa\u011f\u0131 kampanyas\u0131 ya\u015fan\u0131yor. Pek\u00e7ok eyalet bu yasaklarla yetinmeyip yenilerini g\u00fcndeme getiriyor. Baz\u0131 belediyeler, caddelerde sigara i\u00e7imini yasakl\u0131yor.

Ancak al\u0131nan kararlar\u0131 her zaman uygulamak kolay olmuyor. Bunun bir \u00f6rne\u011fi de ba\u015fkent Washington\u2019da ya\u015fan\u0131yor. Belediye meclisi ocak ay\u0131nda ald\u0131\u011f\u0131 bir kararla kent i\u00e7indeki resmi binalarda sigara i\u00e7ilmesini yasaklad\u0131. Bu yasa\u011fa k\u0131smen uyuluyor.
