LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday has ordered strict implementation of smoking ban in public offices and education institutes.
Hearing a petition seeking strict implementation of anti-smoking laws, Justice Ali Akbar Qureshi had passed strict orders over the issue.
Peitioner’;s counsel, Ashar Siddique, said that laws banning smoking in public offices and education institutions were not being properly implemented and people were, as a reason, becoming victims to passive smoking.
He also added that smoking in public places also increases health risks not only for smokers but for the passers-by too.
Minister for National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination Saira Afzal Tarar informed the Senate in April that Pakistan was ranked 54th amongst 84 countries with high prevalence of tobacco smoking.
