Starting next year, smoking in public places in Hong Kong while queuing for transportation will incur a hefty fine of HK$3,000! The sale and use of e-cigarettes and flavored cigarettes will also be completely banned.
The government is set to submit a bill titled "Ten Measures for Tobacco Control" (Tobacco Control Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2025), which not only expands the no-smoking areas to include childcare centers and hospital entrances but also plans to phase out the sale of all flavored tobacco products.
In light of Hong Kong's increasingly stringent anti-smoking regulations, how are expatriates reacting? Some support the new smoking control policies, criticizing e-cigarettes and flavored cigarettes for their chemical additives, while others assert that "the ultimate choice should be left to individuals."
