A smoking room in all buildings

Tuesday • August 28, 2007

Letter from Law Fook Loong

I refer to the letter, "Kudos to hotels for joining smoke-free movement" (Aug 24).

While it is good that air-conditioned buildings in Singapore are smoke-free, the same cannot be said for the entrances and exits of these buildings.

These spots have now become smoke-filled, as many smokers gather there.

All one needs to do is walk past any building entrance or exit to smell the stench of cigarette smoke.

Would it not be better to insist that all buildings create a smoking room so that cigarette smoke can be properly contained and filtered?

This way, non-smokers do not have to breathe in second-hand smoke and environmental pollution will also be reduced.
