As Travel.ru reports citing Russkiye Emiraty, the ban on smoking in hotels is the third stage of the campaign to rid society of the bad habit conducted by the Dubai Municipality. Recall that the smoking ban is already in effect in all shopping centers of the emirate and in the indoor areas of local eateries.
However, the Dubai authorities are not yet introducing a ban on smoking in nightlife establishments. 'We decided not to ban smoking in nightclubs and bars because we understand that the people who come there are mature enough to take care of their health,' Salem bin Mesmar, head of the Ministry of Health of the emirate, told reporters.
