Indonesia's Makassar city takes a significant step towards implementing a smoke-free zone policy, according to Fajar.co.id on January 29th.

According to a January 29th report from FAJAR.CO.ID, the city of Makassar in Indonesia has taken a significant step towards implementing a smoke-free zone policy.

 

According to the acting secretary, Firman Hamid Pagarra, he has disclosed that he has held discussions with the city's health department to deliberate on the specific implementation details of the smoke-free zone plan (KTR).

 

The discussion revolved around KTR regulations, strategies to enhance public awareness, and stipulating areas where smoking is allowed and where it is prohibited. Feynman emphasized that the primary task is to affix no-smoking signs in designated smoke-free zones.

 

KTR Executive Chairman, Fei Erman, stated, "We are currently in the planning phase, but we must swiftly implement the signage within the designated non-smoking areas according to the schedule." Dr. Nursaidah Sirajuddin, Director of the City Health Department, further added that the smoke-free zone program will commence in January this year.
