Smoking is prohibited in public places in Japan.
On April 1 2008, Japan's Health Promotion Law came into effect, in which strict tobacco distribution regulations will be adopted for refusing to smoke second-hand smoke.
In recent years, the Japanese people have spared no effort to distribute cigarettes. The government hopes to leave a good impression on foreign tourists during the Olympic Games and pass the bill. Although this year's Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed due to the coronavirus (coronavirus pneumonia-19) epidemic, indoor smoking ban will not be affected and will take effect as scheduled. In the future, there is no need to endure the smoking attacks of drug addicts in public areas in Japan!
Secondhand smoke is not allowed in public places! Addicts who want to smoke please go to the designated smoking room or smoking area.
According to the propaganda of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the new smoking ban law of the Health Promotion Law, which came into effect on April 1 2008, simply means that hospitals, schools and surrounding areas are completely banned, and indoor spaces such as restaurants and office buildings are also completely banned. If you want to smoke, you can only go to the smoking room or the smoking area.
Moreover, according to the regulations, obvious no-smoking signs will be posted at the door of no-smoking places. As long as people see the posted no-smoking sign, it means that this place is a no-smoking place. In addition, some counties and cities such as Tokyo have stricter regulations than the national standards, clearly pointing out that smoking is prohibited as long as there are more than two people in the indoor space. Remind addicts to pay special attention to non-smoking places in the future to avoid losing blood in their wallets! Because the Japanese will be really strict.
Secondhand smoke rejection clause
Japanese name: Health _ Law Regulations on the Prevention of Passive Smoking
Date of official implementation: April 2008 1 (III
With the rising awareness of health, more and more young Japanese people choose to leave the embrace of cigarettes. Therefore, many chain restaurants and department stores took the lead in implementing the smoking ban clause in the Health Promotion Law. It can be seen that the anti-smoking movement is no longer a matter of concern to a few people in Japan. After this bill concerning everyone's health rights is on the road, everyone will no longer have to be destroyed by second-hand smoke in public places!
Is it illegal?
You can smoke, but you have to pay a fine for smoking in public. Japan not only allows smoking, but also is one of the few countries with high smoking rate in the world. Japanese people are under greater pressure. Many people smoke to relieve stress. Secondly, no one will blame you for going out to smoke during office hours. However, Japan is also one of the countries with the strictest cigarette management in the world. Smoking is prohibited in all public places in Japan. Yes, all public places. But don't worry, quitting smoking at such a high smoking rate is not fatal. So there are special smoking rooms in general public places. Just smoke in the smoking room. Personally, I think you can go to the smoking room without taking out cigarettes. You'll be full in one minute.
Similarly, Japan has the strictest control over cigarettes. In Japan, selling alcohol and tobacco to minors is a felony. Therefore, when buying tobacco and alcohol products, you must bring your passport to prove that you are over 20 years old. You won't brush your face when you are mature.
