Smoking Prohibition
Smoking prohibition in Singapore was first introduced in 1970. Under the Smoking (Prohibition in Certain Places) Act, “smoking” is defined as inhaling and expelling the smoke of tobacco or any other substance, and includes the holding of any cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other form of tobacco product which is lit or emitting smoke.

To protect non-smokers from the harmful effects of second-hand tobacco smoke, the National Environment Agency is progressively extending the Smoking (Prohibition in Certain Places) Regulations to more public places where the public are more likely to be exposed everyday to second-hand tobacco smoke, in consultation with the public and relevant stakeholders. These include areas in buildings, food retail establishments, transport nodes, public service vehicles, sports and recreational facilities.
Under the law, operators and premises managers are required to stop patrons, visitors and staff from smoking in such prohibited areas or request that they leave the premises. Given the large number of places where smoking is prohibited, it is not possible for NEA to deploy officers to watch over all these locations at all times. Smokers are reminded to be socially responsible and be considerate when smoking in public places, and to smoke only in areas where smoking is not prohibited. The community can also play an active role by reminding smokers not to light up at places where smoking is prohibited.
Everyone plays a part, and together, we can make Singapore a cleaner and healthier place for all to live in.
