School Education Department has issued these directives to undermine the habit of smoking among students.
Lahore (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 10th December, 2018) Teachers will now be punished for students found smoking.
Media reports said that the School education Department has issued these directives to undermine the habit of smoking among students.
Now if a student is found smoking in the premises of school, their teacher will be punished.
Teachers said that some students start smoking looking at their elders and then become habitual smokers. The School Education Authority has directed the CEOs of Punjab to implement the court orders to curb the habit of smoking among youngsters.
An action will be taken against the school administration in case they violate the orders.
The Punjab government had in October issued directions to all administrative secretaries, commissioners, deputy commissioners and district police officers (DPOs) to enforce ban on smoking in the province.
The Services and General Administration Department issued a circular with the directions to ensure strict implementation of relevant provisions of Prohibition of Smoking and Protection of Non-Smokers Health Ordinance 2002.
All the officers have been directed that ban on smoking be enforced at all public places, educational institutes and public vehicles. Boards stating "Smoking is An Offence" be displayed at all public places. Sale and storage of cigarettes or any smoking substance within 50 meters from any educational institute is prohibited. No person shall sell cigarettes or any tobacco product to any person who is below the age of eighteen years.
In case of violation, penalties of fine and imprisonment can be imposed.
