The government is planning to release the technical requirements regarding the setting up of smoking and non-smoking areas for casinos by the year-end, the Health Bureau director Lei Chin Ion told reporters. Macau’s new tobacco control law will come into effect in January next year. It will ban smoking in almost all workplaces, except for casinos, where smoking will be permitted on up to half the floor area. Casinos will be granted one extra year exemption to set up the designated smoking areas.
