Seoul districts to ban smoking near colleges
Some district offices in Seoul plan to designate streets near colleges as nonsmoking zones. Smoking will be prohibited on a 250-meter pedestrian street in front of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, eastern Seoul, from next year, a Dongdaemun-gu Office official said Monday. This is the first time that a smoking ban has been imposed on university streets. In 2003, the 250-meter walkway in front of Sungshin Women¡¯s University, northeastern Seoul, was named a smoke-free zone, but it was not legally binding. The ban in front of HUFS will come into force in January after a three-month grace period. Violators could be fined 100,000 won ($90).
