A smoking ban inside malls will be implemented this week, a source at the Environment Public Authority (EPA) said, reminding that smokers indoors would have to pay a fine ranging between KD 50 and KD 100.
The penalty would also apply on those who smoke electronic cigarettes inside restaurants or cafes, the sources said. Meanwhile, an owner of a restaurant or cafe that allows smoking inside his or her facility risks paying up to KD 5,000, the source added.
An office for environmental police has been allocated in malls around Kuwait to monitor and make sure that the anti-smoking law is applied, the sources said, adding that the officers would intervene instantly should customers refuse to cooperate. Mall administrations were allowed to set up special cabins for smokers. [Source]
Sounds like déjà vu.

Oh, how many times have we heard this before right? Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to think smoking indoors is a great idea anyway. We shouldn’t even have to go to these lengths to get people to stop and for how long? Seriously, a week or two later, I’m going to see people smoking inside again as if nothing ever happened. Ok, rant over.. breathe 🙂
Smoking cabins a la the airport where they keep the door open and smoke in and around the open cabin door?
