Starting in August, all offices and civil complaint service areas at Suwon City Hall will be designated as smoke-free zones.
A city official stated, "We are implementing this to spread a non-smoking atmosphere within City Hall and prevent the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. This will serve as an opportunity not only to promote employee health but also to expand the smoking cessation campaign."
Accordingly, existing smoking areas will be repurposed for other uses. To designate these smoke-free zones, the city conducted a survey starting on the 18th of last month targeting all employees working at City Hall to collect opinions both for and against the measure.
The city is also reviewing plans to operate a smoking cessation clinic center at Paldal-gu Health Center in consultation with smokers and to grant innovation mileage points to those who successfully quit smoking.
