The Surabaya city government will soon impose fines on people who violate the regulations regarding non-smoking areas (KTR) under the area regulation (Perda), including those who use electronic cigarettes.
The Surabaya city government in Indonesia is set to impose fines on those who violate the regional regulations (Perda) regarding non-smoking areas (KTR), including the use of electronic cigarettes.
Surabaya Mayor Eri Cahyadi explained that this was completed after undergoing socialization in June of last year.
On August 12th, Eri Cahyadi of Surabaya said, "God willing, by the beginning of next week or the end of the month, we will ensure that fines can be enforced if they receive proper socialization.
During the phase of socialization, the Surabaya City Government has gradually communicated with the community. In addition to designated smoking areas, it also involves sanctions for individuals who violate KTR regional regulations.
According to him, fines are the most severe punishment.
What happens if you break it? There are a few levels of violation. First, a warning. Secondly, there will be a fine, to be enforced later," he explained.
Despite this, the former head of the Development Planning Agency (Bappeko) in Surabaya stated that his political party will continue to prioritize persuasive steps and propose outreach steps with the community.
The fine has been determined. Do not let those who violate the KTR Perda be surprised by suddenly receiving such a penalty," he said.
The imposition of fines is one step towards increasing public awareness. Mayor Eri Cahyadi understands that directly changing people's daily habits is not an easy task.
