Joint enforcement of smoking ban in public facilities
The health center in Yupyeong-gun, South Korea plans to enforce a ban on smoking in public facilities by 2022.

The Yuryang County Health Care Center in South Korea plans to implement a joint enforcement of smoke-free areas within public facilities by October 28, aiming to create a clean and smoke-free urban environment by 2022.


A joint inspection is being carried out by a task force comprised of the director of Yuling County's health care hospital, smoking cessation counselors, smoking cessation instructors, Yuling County Police Department, and environmental health and hygiene teams.


Inspect public facilities and smoking-free areas as required by regulations, especially in public buildings, medical facilities, schools and daycare centers, school purification areas, bus and taxi stations, gas stations, and areas with a high incidence of fines for negligence and violations of the law.


The items that need to be checked include placing signs or stickers indicating the entire facility is a non-smoking area, compliance with the installation standards of smoking rooms within the facility, and prohibiting smoking (including electronic cigarettes) in public facilities designated as non-smoking areas.


The director of Yuling County Health Care Center, Jin Young-hyun, stated, "Through this joint guidance and inspection, we will establish a smoking ban policy and work to create a pleasant community environment in Yuling County without tobacco smoke, creating a smoke-free environment for local public facilities.
