Smoke-free advocates slam public smokers

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya: Smoke-free advocates have expressed concern over the increasing number of people who smoke in public places despite an ordinance being implemented in the province.

Susan Basilio, Smoke-Free Program coordinator here, said public smoking continues to thrive in the province because of the passive reaction of majority of Novo Vizcayanos even as authorities have put up a relentless drive against it.
