RadX Moderator January 11, 2013 Share January 11, 2013 No smoking in more public areas from 15 January SINGAPORE: Smoking will be banned in more public areas, when changes to the law kick in on 15 January to better protect the public from second-hand smoke. This means smokers will not be able to light up at the common areas of all residential buildings, covered linkways and walkways, overhead pedestrian bridges, outdoor compounds of hospitals, as well as within a five-metre radius of bus shelters. The National Environment Agency (NEA) will give the public time to get used to the changes. Those caught smoking in the new areas in the first three months will be let off with a warning. However, those who keep flouting the law even though they had been warned can be fined up to S$1,000. NEA has been working with stakeholders to put up signage at places such as staircase landings and lift lobbies. Educational posters will be put up at bus stops. Bins with ashtrays will be shifted or replaced with bins without ashtrays, and will be moved five metres away. - CNA/ck ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porker Turbocharged January 11, 2013 Share January 11, 2013 Is this considered restriction of individual rights? Or does is it a manifestation of the general inconsiderate nature of Singaporeans that warrant such regulation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
