Smokers take note: Harsher regulations in the pipeline
Smokers will have to puff away before heading
out if new smoking regulations are passed.
The Health Department wants to implement a
complete ban of smoking in public places – that means no more designated
smoking areas in restaurants, for example. Would you last a night out without smoking?
Breakfast show host Martin Bester also weighed in on the matter. Martin expressed his concern, asking: "Surely alcohol abuse is a much bigger issue
in South Africa?"
The national health department is also keen to prohibit cigarette vending machines as they are easily accessible by children and not regulated stringently enough.
