Rimmer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Pattaya Beach anti-smoking rally set for March 6 PATTAYA:--Pattaya Beach will see its first anti-smoking rally March 6 as city hall tries to implement a beach smoking ban citywide. Deputy Mayor Vichien Pongpanit chaired a Feb. 23 meeting on the first smoking ban public relations event outside Dongtan Beach. He estimated 85 percent of people visiting Dongtan now understand and follow the smoking prohibition and predicted that number will reach 100 percent within a month. The challenge now is to bring the ban on smoking to Pattaya and Naklua beaches. The first step was to educate beach chair vendors, who signed on to the effort by collecting 110,000 cigarette butts. The butts were given to the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources for analysis. The March 6 event will include an exhibition on the health dangers of cigarettes and the negative effects of throwing butts on the beach.

Popular Post champers Posted March 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2018 I have seen a massage lady with a yellow jacket collecting cigarette butts at Pattaya beach. Was she digging in the sand? No, she was collecting them from the dozens of ashtrays now set up in the smoking areas on Beach Road. This is really a non-story now. The beach concession holders are enforcing the smoking ban because City Hall has told them they will be fined 2000 Baht as well as any smokers being fined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post likeke Posted March 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2018 These morons who smoke in restaurants should be kicked out and fined. How rude. If you smoke stop. And if you do smoke, then do it outside of eating establishments and away from children and the elderly. Period. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayinThailand2much Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 What Pattaya really needs is a "Stop Foreigners, Under Strange Circumstances, Falling from Balconies" rally. Imagine, what that would do for the positive image of Pattaya! No-smoking ban/rally - who cares? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's allowed to smoke i will, if i have to go to a designated smoking-area i'll do that. Maybe they should make restaurants for smokers and separate ones for non-smokers? Same for kids who cry all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 110,000 butts from the beach....wow! That must have been a massive effort sorting that many butts from all the plastic bags, bottles, condoms, syringes, fishing gear, disposable nappies and various other flotsam and jetsam that washes up on those beaches daily.
