Do you plan to go to Hong Kong Disneyland
with your family this summer? If your dad smokes, you may have to ask him to be
careful. From January 1st, Hong Kong banned(禁止)smoking in most public
places.
These places include restaurants, workplaces,
schools and so on. Even smoking in some outdoor places is not allowed, for
example, beaches, sports ground, museums and most areas of public parks.
Hong
Kong hopes the ban
can stop passive smoking. What is passive smoking? When people smoke in a
restaurant or on a bus, others have to smoke too. They don’t want to smoke but
they have no choice. This is passive smoking. It is bad for people’s health.
And it’ll be better if more people in Hong Kong give up smoking because of the
ban. Jack Lee, a 26-year-old student says, “The ban is really good. I don’t
like people smoking next to me. It’s so smoky and smelly.”
If someone breaks the ban, he will be fined
HK$5,000.
Hong
Kong is not the
first Asian city to have a smoking ban. On January 1, 2006, Singapore banned smoking in most public
places.
