thanks for the smokes
Reinforcement of Tobacco Order & Law. Whether it’s gonna be a debatable issue, the reinforcement of Tobacco Order 2005 and Tobacco Law 2007 will begin on 1st June this Sunday. The Ministry of Health has done their job in distributing posters of the Tobacco Order 2005 as well as No-Smoking signs to government offices and schools in Tutong yesterday.
So with the reinforcements, you are not allowed to smoke in public places such as car parks, outside government buildings and even in restaurants and cafes. So I believe that restaurants/cafes (that cater to smoking patrons) might be feeling the pinch in the first few months because of the reinforcement. Probably the biggest affected restaurants will be those serving “shisha” as they are banned from being served at any food outlet. The safest bet to get your “oxygen” would probably be at home.

The main aim of this campaign and reinforcement is to reduce the tobacco consumption in the country. There will be a major launch on the campaign this Monday on increasing the awareness of Tobacco Order 2005 and Tobacco Law 2007 at RIPAS.
