Government functionaries are prohibited from using public funds to buy cigarettes, nor are they permitted to smoke or offer cigarettes when performing official duties, the circular said.
“Smoking remains a relatively universal phenomenon in public venues. Some officials smoke in public places, which does not only jeopardised the environment and public health, but tarnished the image of party and government offices and leaders and has a negative influence,” reads the circular.
The sale of tobacco products and advertisements will no longer be allowed in party and government offices. Prominent notices of smoking bans must be displayed in meeting rooms, reception offices, passage ways, cafeterias and rest rooms.
