Kuwait is intent on enforcing a tobacco smoking ban at educational institutions, according to a story in The Arab Times quoting the Al-Rai daily.
The deputy director-general for technical affairs at the Public Authority for the Environment (EPA) Mohammad Al-Enezi said EPA would soon make a tour of universities and colleges.
It intended to enforce an Environment Protection law that banned smoking inside educational institutions, including universities, colleges and applied institutes.
Al-Enezi said anyone caught smoking on campus or in building annexes would be fined KD50, while the institution would have to pay a fine of KD1,000 for its failure to protect its premises from smokers.
