Civil servants told to quit smoking 

Public servants were urged to quit smoking and help reduce the smoking habit during the Tobacco Order 2005 course held yesterday at the Banquet Hall of the Legislative Council building.

The Ministry of Health has organised promotions, roadshows, briefings and dialogue sessions many times on the Tobacco Order 2005 with the aim of reducing the smoking habit among the people and citizens of the country, said Dato Paduka Haji Mustappa bin Hj Sirat, Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office.

He urged all permanent secretaries, deputy permanent secretaries, and head of departments to support the aspiration of the Ministry of Health to stop the habit of smoking among the civil servant community in Brunei Darussalam.

This includes tightening the prohibition of smoking in government premises and buildings like sport and recreational complex, canteen, schools, hospitals and others under the management of each ministry and department.
