Dubai municipality has intensified inspections in shopping malls after receiving multiple complaints from residents about indoor vaping. Despite e-cigarettes being legally sold in the UAE since April 2019, vaping and smoking are strictly prohibited inside all buildings throughout the country. Authorities are focused on enforcing this rule to ensure a healthy environment for shoppers and visitors.
Residents have expressed concerns about discomfort and potential health risks caused by exposure to vape smoke indoors, prompting local officials to take immediate action. The municipality’s increased monitoring aims to guarantee that all venues comply with the anti-smoking regulations. Individuals caught vaping indoors may face penalties as part of these enforcement measures.
This initiative highlights the UAE’s continuous commitment to public health and safety, balancing the legal sale of e-cigarettes with stringent controls on their indoor use. Residents are urged to:
- Follow the existing guidelines on vaping and smoking
- Report any violations to the relevant authorities
These steps are important to help maintain clean air environments in public places. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for the latest updates on this and other public health developments.
