SINGAPORE — It looks like *****rs will need to find a new hangout spot this summer. Government-banned smoking areas will include 400 parks and 17 reservoirs islandwide starting June 1.
The an**uncement was made by the senior minister of state for the environment and water resources, Amy Khor, during a parliamentary meeting Tuesday. The goal is a *****-free Singapore, Khor said.
The parks and reservoirs, which are **t publicly-owned, could have designated smoking areas, but setting up such boundaries would be up to the private owners.
