Implement a smoke-free environment to build a green, clean, beautiful and civilized Da Nang

The implementation of the “Campaign to promote smoke-free environments in hotels, restaurants and public places” is to protect public health, build the image of Da Nang as green, clean, beautiful and civilized, worthy of the reputation of a friendly and modern tourist city.

Put up "No smoking" signs at restaurants and tourist establishments.

Following the success in Hue and Nha Trang cities, the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund ( Ministry of Health ) has just coordinated with Da Nang city to launch the "Campaign to strengthen the implementation of smoke-free environments in hotels, restaurants and public places".

Each destination of the Campaign carries a common message: “Smoke-free tourism - Responding to a green, clean, safe life”. The campaign is not only to enforce the law, but above all to protect public health, build the image of Da Nang as green, clean, beautiful and civilized, worthy of the reputation of a friendly and modern tourist city.

According to Ms. Phan Thi Hai, Deputy Director of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund, implementing a smoke-free environment is first and foremost to protect public health, especially children, pregnant women, the elderly and those working in the service environment. At the same time, this is also a concrete action to enforce the Law on Tobacco Harm Prevention, raise awareness of law compliance and social responsibility.

In addition, a smoke-free environment also brings direct benefits to tourism development and service businesses. A clean, fresh, and health-friendly hotel or restaurant not only creates a good impression on visitors but also demonstrates the class and behavioral culture of the city. Each "No Smoking" sign is not only an administrative regulation, but also a message of respect and civilization.

Delegates participated in the implementation of the "Campaign to strengthen the implementation of smoke-free environments in hotels, restaurants and public places" in Da Nang.

In order for the campaign to be truly widespread and effective, the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund recommends that the city government and relevant agencies continue to strengthen inspection and supervision, promptly commend units that perform well and strictly handle violations. At the same time, it is necessary to promote communication and education, integrate tobacco harm prevention content into local health, culture, education and tourism programs.

For hotel, restaurant and tourist attraction owners, in addition to proactively establishing "No Smoking" regulations, placing clear signs and training staff to behave tactfully and civilly with customers is extremely important. A smoke-free environment not only demonstrates community responsibility, but also brand value - a commitment to service quality, respect for customers and professionalism of the business.

For each citizen and each tourist, let's show responsibility and cultural behavior in the community, do not smoke in public places and remind each other to preserve the common environment. And remember that each cigarette left behind is a breath of fresh air for yourself and your loved ones.

The Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund is always ready to accompany localities, agencies and businesses in communication, training and support in building sustainable smoke-free environment models.
