NO MORE PUBLIC SMOKING!!! – FEDERAL & LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT ORDER

The Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have finally signed into law the no public smoking bill. This law has already been implemented by the Federal Government. The Lagos State government did not also fail to reciprocate the same bill into the laws of the state.

According to Kirikiri news opinion of the term no smoking in public places, it simply means no smoking in a place where people can see you.

In January 2014, Bella Naija reported that legislators in Lagos state have passed a bill banning smoking in public places.

The legislators were waiting for Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola to sign the bill into law for all logistics to be put in place.

BRF signed the bill into law at the Lagos House, Ikeja. He is optimistic that the law would further strengthen the State Government’s commitment towards protecting lives of citizens.

The bill prohibits smoking in areas which are designated as non-smoking areas, including libraries, museums, nurseries, day care centers, public toilets and facilities with infants.

Offenders face up to 3 years in jail. Owners of public spaces (clubs, restaurants etc.) will have to ensure no-smoking signs are properly displayed.

The fine is NGN100, 320 or 6 months in Kirikiri prison.
