Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Smoking in pavilions

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on smoking in pavilions by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.

Question:

Ms Elysa Chen: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment whether the Ministry will consider extending smoking prohibitions to pavilions adjacent to HDB residential blocks where smoking is not already prohibited, such as certain pavilions in Sin Ming Court, given that residents in such blocks are frequently exposed to drifting smoke from smokers using these sheltered spaces.

 Answer:

Smoking is prohibited in pavilions within the common property of residential premises, which are intended to be used for holding funerals, weddings, gatherings, meetings or other communal or social functions. My Ministry will continue to monitor public feedback and consider the Member’s suggestion as we continue to review the smoking prohibition regulations.
