Smoking ban in Manila public places starts May 30 | ABS-CBN News | Latest Philippine Headlines, Breaking News, Video, Analysis, Features

MANILA, Philippines - Starting next week, smokers will be unwelcome in public places along major and secondary roads of the metropolis.
Officers from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), together with the 17 local government units (LGU) of Metro Manila, will prohibit lighting up in bus terminals, waiting sheds, schools, hospitals, recreational places and inside public utility vehicles starting May 30 as part of a joint campaign to protect Filipinos from secondhand smoke.
The smoking ban came just in time for the World No Tobacco Day celebration on June 1. New York-based Bloomberg Philanthropies has approved a P9.5-million grant for the program.
"We'll be launching an information campaign so people will know that smoking will be prohibited in certain areas of main roads of the metropolis," Dr. Loida Alzona, division chief of MMDA's public health safety and environment protection, said in an interview on ANC's "Top Story" on Friday.
MMDA's "environmental enforcers" will issue warnings to those who will be caught violating the provisions of Republic Act 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 for the month of June.
Alzona said penalties, which include fines and community service, will take effect in July.
While it supports the smoking ban in areas like schools, hospitals and public facilities, the Philippine Tobacco Institute (PTI) said it is against the smoking ban in major and secondary roads in Metro Manila.
PTI argued that the roads are not included in RA 9211's list of prohibited places, and hoped that the MMDA will reconsider its decision to implement the anti-smoking campaign.
Data from the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization showed that smoking kills 10 Filipinos every hour, or 80,000 every year. -- With a report from ANC

Few months ago they implemented the no-littering law. Now, try walking around MM & look if there is indeed lesser garbage. Your guess is as good as mine.

Tsaka sa MM, labas ka lang sa kalye, you will get all the pollutants you want, why buy yosi pa. jk :grin:
Re: smoking ban in manila begins May 30
di naman kailangan nito basta be responsible smoker lang. sa japan ang ginawa nila naglagay sila ng mga smoking station. lahat ng nagyoyosi nandun. sangkatutak na 2nd hand smoke pa. mas mabilis mamatay. tapos inom at mamantikang pagakain. atleast you die doing what you like.

RA 9211 defines public places as “enclosed or confined areas of all hospitals, medical clinics, schools, public transportation terminals and offices, and building such as private and public offices, recreational places, shopping malls, movie houses, hotels, restaurants, and the like.” Tolentino said this term also includes sidewalks of major and secondary roads in the metropolis.
parang ang labo naman nyan.. kasasabi lang enclosed area daw.. tapos kasama din sidewalks and secondary roads... labo naman..
