Smoking in public places
Shamsul Huda, Dhanmondi
Enacting anti-smoking laws and organising a social movement, as called by Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed, are not enough to curb smoking. Only strict enforcement of laws can free the society from the evil of smoking. Still we see errant smokers in public places forcing non-smokers to experience passive smoking and exposing them to various deadly diseases. Even walkways, where many elderly people take their morning and evening stroll, are being polluted by the errant young smokers roaming around in groups. This is high time to take punitive action against all such smokers.
