Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni has directed restaurants, hotels, and markets across the country to set up designated smoking zones.
Speaking in Kirinyaga on Saturday, the PS further said that smokers should strictly use a smoking zone if they need to smoke in any social area.
The PS, however, assured that the government will continue its crackdown on other illegal drugs such as shisha and cannabis. "Restaurants, hotels, and other social places, even the markets, must set up smoking zones, and when I say a smoking zone, it should be dedicated somewhere at the corner where someone can go and smoke.
And if you really must smoke, you must use a designated smoking area," she stated.
