enforcement of the ban on public smoking as parts of precautionary measures to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country.
In the latest report, 80 cases were reported in Lagos, 21 in Gombe, 5 in FCT, 2 in Zamfara, 2 in Edo, 1 in Ogun 1 in Oyo, 1 in Kaduna and 1 in Sokoto. According to him, “Thumbs up to all nations that banned public smoking. In these nations, mainly in the developed world people are not allowed to smoke in public places like bars, restaurants, hotels , commercial/public vehicles, public/social events, etc. Public smoking is unlawful in these countries; people are not also allowed to smoke at home with nonsmokers whether they are children or adults unless around consenting adults.
“Puffed out cigarette smoke is equally inhaled by nonsmokers turning them second-hand smokers. Nigeria must enforce the ban on public smoking for the center of her economic growth , national health and cohesion to hold square. The same applies to other nations not enforcing their ban on public smoking. United Nations and The World Health Organization should make it mandatory for all nations to ban and enforce public smoking”.
