The Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday January 20th passed a bill
seeking to make smoking in public places illegal in the state, with
first offenders having options of paying a fine of N10,000, three months
in jail or both. The bill which is waiting the approval of Gov.
Fashola to be signed into law prohibits residents from smoking in places
such as libraries, museum, public toilets, schools, hospital, day-care
centres, public transportation, restaurants among others.
