Bali tells smokers to butt out
Bali is pressing ahead with new public anti-smoking laws although the island’s governor admits they may be hard to police.
Bali’s lawmakers have ratified a new anti-smoking regulation, which now needs to be certified by Jakarta.
Anyone caught smoking in areas where smoking is prohibited under the new law will face fines of up to Rp. 50 million (US$5,550), Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com) reports.
Smoking in public will not be allowed in hotels, restaurants, tourism areas, places of worship, public transport, shopping malls, traditional markets, and airports.
Sales of cigarettes and cigarette advertising in these areas will also be banned.
Bali’s governor Made Mangku Pastika said the new law “will still require a period of socialisation and struggleâ€.
Pastika said he assumed foreign tourists would more readily understand and accept the new law, while locals would find some difficulty initially in efforts to curb smoking in public place.
