QX179R SG

Smoking ban to be extended to all indoor public places

SINGAPORE : The smoking ban will be extended to all indoor public places and some outdoor places by January 2009.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) will also step up its enforcement efforts.

Some outdoor places, like playgrounds and exercise areas, will be smoke-free next year.

So too will all indoor public areas such as multi-storey and basement car parks, lift lobbies, non air-con shopping centres and shops.

Many have observed that ash trays demarcate a smoking zone. And so come January 2009, an ash tray at the entrance of Bras Basah Complex will probably no longer be there, as the smoking ban has been extended to include a distance of five metres from the property's entrance or exit.

Sung Jee Tong, chairman, Bras Basah Complex Merchants' Association, said: "Hopefully, we can change all the dustbins to those that are covered. So people do not have the impression that this is a smoking area."

With more areas becoming smoke-free, NEA will double the number of enforcement officers from 50 to 120, who will now spend 490 man-hours, a 300-man-hour increase.

But during the initial phase, they expect to issue more warnings, rather than fines.

Khoo Seow Poh, Director-General Public Health, NEA, said: "In the first few months, people need to adjust to it. We will always be helping them, giving more advice. And if need be, in situations where people do not cooperate, then enforcement has to come in.

"I guess eventually, smokers will have to go to designated smoking areas to smoke. If most of the public areas are covered under the smoking ban, then smokers will have to go to (designated smoking areas) smoke. And there are also wide open areas outside buildings where smokers can actually go to take their puff."

The smoking ban will also apply to restaurants and bars in the integrated resorts (IRs).

The NEA has not yet indicated if there is a cap to the amount of smoking areas within the gaming halls.

But it said it will be giving its inputs to the IRs on their house rules.

Meanwhile, Resorts World at Sentosa said it is looking at different options in segregating smoking and non-smoking areas within its casino. - CNA/ms

~N3RD~ SG

should have a designated area for smokers... like smoke room or what like in Japan...

dumbdumb! SG

thank you, PAP.

it's time for you guys to quit anyway.. bad for health you know.

yeah yeah, none of my business, yada yada.. but truth is truth.. smoking is bad for health.

mancha SG

Yea! Show them when election

They need to ban smoking totally, not draw lines and say this side cannot smoke and that side can smoke. Total ban is what is needed.

We must be able to listen to campaign speeches without breathing in second hand smoke.

oldbreadstinks SG

i think its a great move, fully supportive of this move and i'm eagerly awaiting the day they cost 50 bucks a pack and you can only smoke in your own house.

nowadays i'll just walk off even if its my own friend smoking. after all the times i've been forced to take in all that smoke and told i can always be the one to move away if i don't like the smoke i strongly feel smokers should be squeezed into their own corner where they can't disturb anyone.

limpper SG

i agree with the government's move although i myself is also a smoker.

afterall smoking is bad, even if we don care for ourselves, have to care for those ppl near us, always when we smoke.

non-smokers should not be in a position where they have tahan 2nd hand smoke because of ppl like us.

dumbdumb! SG

wow. u're the first. =)

respect!!

ya lor. but my smoking friends are really considerate la. it's all good

maskedangel SG

ban drinking oso while they're at it pls.

dumbdumb! SG

ban drinking oso while they're at it pls.

drinking isn't the problem.. drink driving and drunk fights are the problem.. =)

the harms of smoking is a passive thing.. it occurs directly from smoking.

if drinking is banned, there will be no drink driving and drunk fights, right?

drink driving and drunk fights cause immeadiate damage, and cannot be avoided by the public. .

where else, one can siam from the cigg smoke if one chooses to. .. .

lets keep this thread friendly, cos topics like this are flamable

dumbdumb! SG

because when you drink, you can choose not to drive, or get into fights (even so, for every 100 person who drinks, maybe 20 gets into a fight, but for every 100 person who smokes, 100 of them poisons their neighbour).

you can't choose not to poison others when you smoke. you just do.

yeah, i'm pretty tired of having to siam because of inconsiderate smokers, so i applaud this move.

anyway, quit la. win win for everyone
