Lagos State National Assembly are seriously making plans to ban smoking in some restricted areas of the state.The anti-smoking bill which scaled through the first reading at the Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday was a private member bill sponsored by Mr. Gbolahan Yishawu, a member representing Eti-Osa Constituency 2. It was read to the house by the Acting Clerk of the House, Segun Abiru.
It contains the prohibition of smoking in designated places for connected purposes
If passed into law, the bill will restrict smokers of tobacco, or anything, which contains tobacco, or any other substance in places marked ‘No Smoking Area’.
It would also be seen as a grievous offence to smoke in the presence of under-aged kids at any given location.
