Government urged to implement anti-smoking laws
Published in: Legalbrief Africa

Issue No: 283
Anti-smoking activists have urged the Ugandan Government to enforce the law that prohibits smoking in public places.
This, they said, would stop deaths and other ill-health related to tobacco consumption and exposure to second-hand smoke. Petitioning the Speaker of Parliament over the increasing rate of smoking in the country, the Tobacco or Health Forum, a local anti-smoking association, decried the failure by concerned authorities to implement the 2004 legislation on smoking. According to a Sunday Vision report, the law calls for a fine of not less than $11 000 and not more than $58 000 for a person convicted of smoking in a public transport vehicle or any other public place.
Of course you notice it doesn't say where the Anti-smoking activists are from! I am pretty sure they are not from Uganda!
