N50,000 Fine For Public Smoking In Nigeria by joshkiddies: 2:47pm On Jun 17, 2017
Following the launch of campaign to ban smoking in public places including motor parks, shopping malls and health care centres, the Nigerian government in a communiqué has said it is going to enforce Section 9 of the Nigeria Tobacco Control Act 2015, which says that once convicted, offenders are liable to a fine of at least N50, 000 and/or six months’ imprisonment.

The Ministry of Health in its 'Clean Air Campaign',  said the law would henceforth be taken seriously in a bid to protect and promote the citizens’ right to health, life, physical integrity and safety.

According to Punch, to carry out the campaign successfully, the ministry also said it was being supported by the Cancer Society of Nigeria, World Health Organisation, ONE Campaign, Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, Civil Society Organisations and the Tobacco Free Kids based in Washington DC, United States.

shocked


Who even makes these laws

That is too much... How much is a carton of cigarette..

The FG should even reward people for smoking...our ever-rising population is a menace that the FG can't even tackle..... spreading cancer will help to drastically reduce the population.

Another avenue for our corrupt and semi-illiterate policemen to extort citizens.
The law is against smoking in public places, not smoking in public. Mods modify the headline please

okoyemekun:
Never could understand what smoking does in the body. You smell,feel nauseous after smoking,reduce the strength of your anti bodies to fight diseases and make your body vulnerable to all kind of attack. I believe most Nigerians are social smokers.

like I always say to my smoker friends,take a peep at that smoked fish and you have an idea of what that smoke is doing to your intestines.









If you desire to verify your 3rd party account like okpay.com,cubits.com, and other online paying account and have issues,contact okoyemekun on 08118059298

You forgot to add that story of how smokers would have built many mansions with their cigarette expense so they can also ask you where your own mansion is since you are not smoking cheesy grin
