Forum: Set up cubicles for smokers so that the walk to TTSH is smoke-free
I often see many smokers gathering along Jalan Tan Tock Seng to smoke, as smoking is prohibited within the nearby Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH).
This has created significant discomfort and inconvenience for visitors to the hospital, particularly those with respiratory conditions or sensitivities.
The smokers often congregate in groups on both sides of the road, making it nearly impossible for those passing by to avoid inhaling second-hand smoke. Even wearing an N95 mask offers little relief.
As a non-smoker and lung cancer survivor, I hope the relevant authorities will consider installing designated smoking cubicles that can contain and filter smoke.
This would protect public health while still providing a space for smokers, and help ensure that the walk to and from the hospital remains safe and pleasant for all visitors.
