Intro: The move by the ministry of Health and Social Welfare to enforce the banning of public smoking is long overdue and indeed must welcome.
A statement issued by the Ministry yesterday said all heads of institutions, organizations, workplaces and other public places are hereby urged to implement this Act as in such establishments, smoking will be allowed only in clearly labeled designated smoking areas.
. . .
The general public must also help the police and the Ministry by reporting people who may defiantly continue to smoke in public despite the commencement of the enforcement.
Our commendations also go to the Minister of Health and Social Welfare and her team for the move. We are in support! . . .
Meanwhile, in order to enforce the Act to the fullest, those in leadership positions must lead by example and must endeavor to equally obey the Act to deter others from smoking in public.
