(13th Congress) - Violations of regulations on tobacco harm prevention and control will be reported via a mobile phone software, which will be piloted in two districts of Hoan Kiem and Tay Ho of Hanoi.
The information was announced at a training conference on improving communications regarding the prevention and control of tobacco harm, held by the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Ministry of Health’s Fund for the Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harm in Hanoi on November 4.
Thank to the software, people can take photos of violations and send them to authorized agencies.
Violations include smoking in non-smoking areas and signs with non-smoking in text or in symbols not being hung at these areas.
In addition, the users can also send a report if ventilation systems in smoking areas are not separated from those for non-smoking areas, or even if ashtrays are not provided./.
