just roaming around the various malls, specifically tasked with ticketing the smoking individuals AND fining the coffee establishments who don't enforce the rules.
Maybe a three strikes rule and the shops would have to close for one week as a penalty. For individuals caught breaking the law, subsequent smoking tickets could be of higher fines, ultimately leading to misdemeanor charges of "endangering public health" which would result in jail time.
But I won't hold my breath. Qatar doesn't truly care about this issue. They merely want to be able to point out the signs on the walls that say "no smoking" and pretend like that means they're serious about public health and safety.
Not until some sheikh dies of second hand smoke will they actually do anything.
