Go Smoke Free Campaign

Our Go Smoke Free Campaign started on 1 Jan 2009, and this is a much awaited campaign for many non-smokers like me. This campaign was widely publicised on TV and papers;

Can the campaign really succeed or it's just another campaign down the road? Just like we already have No Smoking in lift for many many years and yet many people still smoke in the lift or carry their lighted cigarettes into the lift. What can we do then?

On the 1st of Jan 2009, I saw the No Smoking In This Lift Lobby pasted on my lift level in Tampines Blk.384;


The problem is why throw the backing paper for the sticker on the floor instead into the rubbish chute which is just a few steps away?


4 days (on 5 Jan 2009) after the sticker was pasted, take a look at the condition;


It started peeling off in less than a week! Why? Why? Poor sticker quality? The sticker was not pasted properly? Someone vandalised? I'm not sure...all I know it's not a good job done and follow up.

It's a waste of money, time and effort if such a campaign is just simply executed and no proper follow up is done and no enforcement is executed. I still see some delivery people still smoke in the lift lobby. What can the residents do if someone still smoke or carry a lighted cigarette in the lift lobby? What can you do if they ignore your request to stop it?
