Again, the smoker is asked to drive from the balconies, stands, outdoor cafes

According to Agnė Širinskienė, a "farmer" who signed the amendment, the SNB explained that such a ban was being demanded by the inhabitants – they complained of being forced to breathe smoky smoke home, on the balcony, that is, pbadively smoking.

"This pbadive smoking has forced the miners to suffer, as well as the inhabitants who decide to lead a healthy life," said A.Sirinskienė, SNB.

The member expects the corrections "to occur preventively".

"People will think about smoking, which suits me, it is not always practical or good for the neighbors," said the Sejm member.

Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said early in the summer that similar amendments were under consideration in the Seimas because it would be a largely unenforceable rule of law and would not be possible. an additional burden for the police.

In addition, it is proposed to ban smoking in covered public transport stops and play areas for children, cafe terraces, with the exception of smoking areas, sports events or events outside.

Corrections were also signed by the ministers of health and agriculture "peasants" Aurelius Veryga and Virginijus Sinkevičius, chairman of the health committee of Seimas "peasant" Asta Kubiliene, head of the social work group Andrius Palionis.

At present, smoking is prohibited in Lithuania in all educational and social institutions, workplaces, public places of residence and other common areas, restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs, cybercafés, gaming halls and other places of recreation, with the exception of specially equipped cigar or pipe centers.

It is also forbidden to smoke in car showrooms if there are people under 18 or pregnant women.

Since 2014, the Seimas has reviewed several times and has already rejected proposals to ban smoking in balconies located within 10 meters of residential buildings. Opponents of the amendments argue that it would not be possible to enforce the prohibitions.
