Governor Babatunde Fashola has signed a bill banning smoking in public places in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, into law.
With the signing of the bill into law today, nobody can smoke in public places anymore in Lagos State as offenders would be made to pay fine or go to jail. The Lagos State House of Assembly had recently passed a bill banning smoking in public places and placed fine of N10,000, three months imprisonment or both for first offenders. The law prohibits residents of the state from smoking in public places such as libraries, museum, public toilets, schools, hospital, day-care centres, public transportation, restaurants among others.
