SINABI ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na tutol siya sa pangtatayo ng smoking area sa loob ng mga tanggapan sakaling ipatupad na ang smoking ban sa bansa.
“Now, I’ve always been against even building a structure inside just to accommodate smokers. That ain’t the way. It must be out, it must not be in an enclosed cubicle inside the building. That is not good enough. The statistics would show you, there is no debate on that, we will die of cancer if we will continue to mess up with nicotine,” sabi ni Duterte.
Pirma na lamang ang kulang sa executive order na magpapatupad ng smoking ban sa buong bansa,
“It will be followed and the implementation will follow the Davao experience. If you want to smoke, find a place where it is allowed,” dagdag ni Duterte.
