 In 2019 and 2020 respectively, the Government of St. Lucia passed the Public Health Smoking Control Amendment and the Public Health Smoking Control Regulations Act which prohibits the smoking of cigarettes, other electronic devices, or any other substance in businesses and workplaces, public places like bars, restaurants, parks and beaches, likewise in public transports, taxis and terminals. We all need to be aware of these new laws and support the smoking restrictions to ensure our health and safety. Fines for offenses are up to $5,000 for individuals or $10,000 for business entities on summary conviction. In this era of COVID-19, smoking and exposure to smoking are unhealthy practices since they are associated with adverse outcomes for those who contract the disease. A smoke regeneration starts with you and me. This is a message from the Minister of Health and Wellness supported by Powell on this station.
