Cape Town - The City of Cape Town said it was working towards a “smoke-free environment” and public buildings could soon become smoke free as part of its health department’s Bloomberg partnership for ‘Healthy Cities Tobacco Campaign’.
Badroodien says the new bill will promote a 100 percent smoke-free environment for all, which will include stricter rules on where an individual is allowed to smoke. “The goal is to create a smoke-free city through stakeholder engagement, education campaigns and review of internal City policy. The City of Cape Town will aim for as many of its buildings as possible to be compliant with the new workplace smoking policy post intervention,” Badroodien said.
