Smoke free Taiwan

Only the restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, the senior citizens welfare institutions can establish legally indoor smoking room, which must have independent air-conditioning systems, independent compartment, negative pressure systems, etc. Most importantly, the indoor smoking room cannot provide any services other than a place to smoke. In other words, the smoking room may not be used for internet surfing, dining, or reading and any other non-smoking-related activities. The average expenses in installing a proper smoking room, according to some prestigious hotels in Taiwan , will be around NTD 1,200,000 (USD36,363).
On the last day before the implementation, the Director of Department of Health, Mr. Ching-chuan Yeh, the head of the Bureau of Health Promotion, Ms. Mei-ling Hsiao, the CEO of John Tung Foundation, Mr. Sea-wain Yau , the lifetime volunteer, Ms. Shu-Li Chen , and twin actors and their wives came forward and distributed ?Smoke-free Taiwan? brooch to the pedestrians in front of a department store.
