Smoking ban extension to launch July 1 

The smoking ban at bars, clubs, nightclubs, bathhouses, and massage and mahjong premises will take effect July 1.

The Department of Health called for venue management co-operation in providing a smoke-free environment for their staff and customers, noting they are empowered to implement the smoking ban. They are authorised to require anyone to stop smoking in no-smoking areas and can request those refusing to produce their identity and address for follow-up action, or ask them to leave.
