Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Designated Smoking Points by Ms Grace Fu, Minister of Sustainability and the Environment

Ms Elysa Chen: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment whether the Ministry will be undertaking a review of the policies on the location, frequency, and design of designated smoking areas within municipal boundaries to better protect residents against involuntary exposure to second-hand smoke.

Answer:

Designated Smoking Points (DSPs) within municipal areas are community-led initiatives set up in places where smoking is not prohibited. Community groups interested in setting up DSPs should ensure that they are appropriately sited and managed to minimise disamenities to the public. The National Environment Agency will continue to advise community groups interested in setting up DSPs accordingly.
