SINGAPORE - From Monday , the National Environment Agency will start to issue written advisories instead of verbal ones to those not smoking within the designated smoking areas in Orchard Road.
From next month, those caught smoking outside designated areas may face a composition fine of $200, or up to the maximum court fine of $1,000, NEA said. Verbal advisories given to such people have dropped steadily from an average of 1,900 a day the first week to 627 last week. In its Facebook post, the NEA said that it has been taking an advisory approach towards people found smoking outside the DSAs since the Orchard Road precinct became a no-smoking zone on Jan 1.
