At the same time, the public places of Orchard Road in the city began to ban smoking. Smokers can only smoke in the area marked with yellow lines (there are obvious signs in the smoking area, ashtrays and trash cans where cigarette butts can be thrown).

Coup to ban smoking in countries around the world:

1, Bhutan: the only comprehensive smoking ban

In 2004, Bhutan passed a comprehensive smoking ban bill, becoming the first and only country in the world to completely ban smoking. All kinds of tobacco are prohibited in Bhutan, and smoking is prohibited in all public places. For foreign "smokers" who enter the country, if they want to smoke, they must pay a high price-individuals have to pay a tariff of 100% to bring tobacco into Bhutan.

2. Thailand: The warning map is terrible.

Printing health epigrams and pictures on cigarette cases is considered to be one of the effective means to reduce the number of smokers. Thailand stipulates that half the area of a cigarette case must be printed with a uniform warning picture, which includes a blackened lung, a pair of yellow uneven dies, a sick corpse filled with pipes and a smoking skeleton.
