Lagos residents who break this new law repeatedly would either be sent to prison for 6 months or pay a fine of N50,000, while owners
of public places who encourage the breaking of this law would pay a
fine of N100,000 or be sent to jail for six months.
The bill also seeks to punish anyone who smokes in front of a child with a fine of N15,000 or six months imprisonment. The bill also directs corporate organizations to place the 'No Smoking' sign in their premises. Companies who default would pay a fine of N250,000.
The Bill when passed into law would be supervised by the Lagos Environmental Protection Agency.

Now, they are talking some sense. If you want to kill yourself with lung cancer, do it in private.
Cool.
Lol, Mother africa is angry.
Be that as it may,British American Tobacco remains untouchable.

Kudos Fashola.. Even if we have other pressing issues, this a step towards the right direction. I hope other states will do same too.. #Mr Lucky
I think Foshola is jobless for him saying this shit
yes yes and yes. second hand smoking is just as bad.
Correct! i really like dis law. God bless lagos state nd governor fashola. Pple constitute nuisance with dis smoking of a thing.
Really this is serious but a good idea tho sorry to those addict...
Governor Fashola is a chimney o.he will have to smoke only at home.
But shey we can inject or inhale the other ones sha.because that's what will happen in clubs now(already happening) if we can't smoke.
I fear the corruption this will create even if I support the motion. I just hope the relevant bodies on this won't deviate from its natural goal and use it as an avenue to increase intimidation and the rest. Kudos to Fashola ones more #Mr Lucky
Way to make money out of some people. I'm in support though.
I give my 100% support! Let it be signed ASAP
WE are OUR OWN PROBLEM
#doctorbobby
In as much as i appreciate the effort and intention of the LASG. All I see is just the Nigeria Police Force profiting from law...
I think how government need to understand that they need to clean up and change the orientation of the Law enforcement guys (NPF, LASMA etc) first...
hope this works bcos evem the police that wld be sent for the arrests they are the ones that always smoke in public and in front of kids
Uncle Fashola y r u just giving this police men avenue to "chop money"
Thats good news. . .
Online Naira
Hmmm... I see a lot of "aboki's" being arrested!
Pls when a policeman commits this crime,who will arrest him?

Ghen ghen!!!!
I support this 100%,especially hang out spot passive smoking for non smokers is adverse to health.....yay!!!!! house of Assembly
God will punish fashola if he appproves this! Cos me I like 2 smoke anywhere ooooo
Sometimes govts initaite policies that are excessive,but this time if the agency to enforce don't abuse their powers No smoking or attempting to reduce smoking is not a bad idea
Lol.. Naija we no dey fail o
Funny!!!
WHY SHUD SMOKING,ANTI-GAY LAW IMPLEMENTATION ETC B OF PRIORITY 2D GOVT ESPECIALLY AT DS TRYIN AND TROUBLING TIME IN NIGERIA? D QUESTION OF GOVT PRIORITIES IN DS COUNTRY'S A NO BRAINER. DO DEY NEED A REMINDER ABT WAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE?
Ghen ghen!!! I'm liking ds law..I jxt hope dey extend it to oda states wen its been approved.
Hmmm a very good thing to do, it's hard enough breathing with all the air pollution and some idiot will be smoking in the hot afternoon in a public place. Smoke in your houses, you chimneys. Hilary Obiorah
Odikwa very risky in Flavour's voice. Tobacco is not good 4 your health, smokers are liable to die young.
Shai! I fit smoke for club abi?...hope d will not arrest those suya abokis n women who fry @ d road side. Hope they know that some cars n generators generate more hazardous smoke than Cigar.
Haba! Datz goes against human rights. R we r free nation or not? I hate smokin but still... Just sayin...D Curious1
@chux.com..congratulations to Lagos state..rivers state do something please.
Good one! Let me hear abt human right in this again and see if ur mouth ll not turn to ur anus.
I expect Obama and his gay partners to condemn Lagos state for passing such bill that restrict ppl's right to smoke freely.
Its a gud 1,pls let's help our kids in d prevention of lung cancer,I wish such law is in ph,if u want 2 smoke enter ur bedroom nd do it,stop being a nuesiance 2 d public.
This one go get as e be o. Fashola sef na chain smoker. I hope he approves it!
It's a good one. I can remember when I used to smoke, inhaling smoke from other people annoyed me.m thru wit dat now n really wonder y ppl complain its hard to quit smoking...
Very Good!
This is very big rubbish. I hope fashola will not Approved such a thing because this is stupidity. Beside fashola him self use to smoke so no way.
We get better tins to find solution too no be smoking,bunch of fools
up Lagos other state should emulate please
nice one shaaa... #bubex.
Oga government, what about smoking. In the club.I hope dat wuld nt b a crime
ok..we ve heard...everything will be passed into law
that will be great..............
I support this kind of bill cos smoking in public can harm others who inhale the smoke, not all this gay bill your sex life is not to anybody's detriment but to the people involved.
If Fashola signs this bill i will not only be very happy but i will also have more respect for him because i heard Fashola is a chain smoker. lol
Thank God it's abt freaking time. I feel like I'm abt to get cancer everytime I'm home. We don't need to add 2nd hand smoke to the carcinogens from burning diesel 24/7.
Now the banning begins. Everybody will start banning everything, even hugging
Seriously?
More gists and hot chicks photos at >>Nigerian entertainment news

Kudos to Lagos State Govt. Its abt time all these acts of moral decadence re put in check for posterity's sake. Let them go nd hide whil smoking. We dnt want kids to see them do it
Thumbs up fashola

Yes... finally..... someone is actually doing something good.
gud one
hmm...interesting. Lets see how it goes. On a second thought, i doubt if this will work in Lagos sha...With the huge number of smokers in the state..well, we are waiting for your approval Mr Governor.
Lagos state government just makes sense. This is the kind of law we need in Nigeria; not the kind that pokes its nose into other people's sexual business
Good move, I think clubs needs to be added!
Fashola is working, you lots are sleeping.
I would be very much impressed if such bill is being signed to law by the lagos sate governor, this will definitely help to reduce if not eradicate the habit of smoking in lagos state. i would also employ other states government of the country to do likewise. Kudos to lagos state government.
Good one. I hate cigaret.
Ona don start oooooo,evrytin naim ona de ban o
Abeg make dem no ban igbo oooo,very swt
about time!
I was a smoker. smoked for about 8 years. So the smell of tobacco does not really bother me. however it is depressing whenever i go out with the missus and theres smoke everywhere. apart from the fact that she cannont breath well in such conditions, we all also suffer from second hand smoking.
Fashola please sign this asap.
They started with imprisoning gays. Now its smokers. I hear they're planning to make internet browsing a criminal offence too.
Little by little, people's fundamental rights are being infringed on. The sad part is that the citizens gave the government the go ahead to do so, when they applauded the anti gay bill.
Nigerians, sit back, relax and enjoy the show. This is just the beginning.
This Lagos is a bad place for me to stay cos I can't do without weef
This Lagos is a bad place for me 2 stay cos I can smoke weed anywer
They should also ban the advertisement of alchohol on televisions.
@bonario liar.i guess u still @ pape or 1 man village in Abuja for saying that.
Ijoba mi ko fe oshi bi ti ijoba fashola #in olamide's voice#lagos don hear am
Fashola is equally a smoker , hope he doesnt sign the bill
They should ban peeing in public places first
About time too.. Smoking should also be banned indoors...
Until I hear a bill been passed for constant electricity then to me Fashola is working.Dude has ran outta idea's man... The prisons will be full if this law is passed.Plus who will arrest em Policemen wey go smoke for public? Another avenue for these police men to intimidate citizens.
Funds must be raised for 2015 by fire by smoke lol!
Your excellency,hope that applies 2 u and ur benson & hedges...oh and 2 dat ur chimney younger brother always emitting smoke at crescendo like jalopy
nw naija police will b like IF U NO GIVE US 500NAIRA WE GO CARRY YOU GO HEAD OFFICE AND U GO PAY PLENTY MONEY..CHAI!..nd u xpect doz aboki to stop#impossible...sum even smoke while slipn sef..#hahaha#
Good I like that
BETTER
You're not stopping people from smoking... its aimed at stopping people from smoking in public places like airport, movie theaters, supermarket, anywhere that is not within the confines of your own home or areas reserved specially for smokers.
Good point. Yeah GEJ, what about plans for the ozone? I remember when I came to Nigeria, I dont know anywhere there (where I was) , but the area we went to, the buses and cars were emitting dark smoke. When I blew my nose afterwards, it was black stuff. The air quality in Nigeria needs major improvement.
The policeman has someone he reports to, right? Report him there. If you dont know, use social media to rectify. Take his picture and put it on the net, im sure he will have someone reprimand him then. The power of media.
Yayyyy! Good news
Im sure those that got cancer from inhaling your filth are saying the same about you.
I think someone mentioned its an avenue to raise revenue for the govt. This will work well if implemented adequately.
i totally support this law.the law is protecting the rights of non-smokers while also not infringing on the rights of smokers.so a person who smokes can continue to smoke in his house the only thing is that he wouldn't smoke in public places so as not to harm others who don't smoke.

This is a good one.
Good!
So someone can't smoke in his or her car while driving abi? Am a female nd I like to smoke wen am driving. We can't also smoke at seaside in lekki too? Fashola plz swerve.
Good one, I will bless the day smoking is banned in public places in Nigeria as a whole...
Very good,I like the idea.
So many people here in the north will be affected if this law were to be a nationwide thing.Here Alcohol is seen as evil than smoking.People smoke even in their offices and no one complains coz its the norm here.Bonita bislam
I support
I love d new Benson switch..mk brain die
GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH MOVE. I wonder if that was the real motivation or if this is another way to tax citizens. Have they defined what constitutes a public place? There you go.

Your right ends where mine begin. So y disturb me with your smoking. Good one Lagos state.
