Why should non-smokers be forced to passively inhale smokers bad habits! Feel free to smoke by all means, just do it away from others. It's a detriment to everyone's health, everyone in the enclosed space in at harm and goes home stinking of toxic smoke. Banning smoking in public is only a good thing, beneficial to every single being, smoker or not. I strongly support this petition.

Smokers tend to be unconcerned about smoking in public places including ioutdoor seating areas of popular family food venues, oblivious of the discomfort they are causing to others, including Children. An outright ban is the only thing that will work . India did it! Come on UAE. Our families need this.

Customers would benefit. Staff would benefit even more -imagine a young person who has never smoked, having to work in an office all day with people who smoke heavily. That shouldn't happen. In the interests of public health, please introduce a ban on smoking in indoor public places.

We now know how severe the health risks associated with smoking are. Smokers choose to smoke, as someone who has chosen not to smoke I should not be forced to sit in places where people are smoking. I do not believe that staying home and not socialising is a valid alternative to my choice.

Dubai and the UAE are so great at looking to the future and being one step ahead of other countries in so many ways, this is one area where the country could do much, much better. Indoor smoking bans in public places have proven to be successful around the world, There is no doubt in my mind that the UAE can follow suit. Not just for the sake of the patrons of bars and restaurants but for the staff who, regardless of their personal preferences, are forced to be around second-hand smoke for hours on end every day.

I look forward to seeing how the Ministry of Health will tackle this issue in the (hopefully) near future.

Also, smoking rooms should have better ventilation if installed.
Smoking at outdoor bars, can have allocated areas. Great initiative.
