With effect from 17 August, 2014, anybody caught smoking in public places in Lagos State, western Nigeria, will be arrested and prosecuted, says the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA.
In view of the proposed enforcement date, LASEPA will hold a stakeholder’s meeting today to sensitise people in compliance with the law which banned smoking in all public places in the state.
General Manager, LASEPA, Engr. Rasheed Shabi, at a news conference in Lagos, said enforcement would begin on 17 August, 2014, reiterating that government did not ban smoking in Lagos, but banned smokers from smoking in public places.
He said when the smoking bill was signed into law by Governor Babatunde Fashola on 17 February, 2014, six months grace was given to enable proper sensitization to be carried out before enforcement.
