Is there any law in Qatar which bans smoking in public places?
By Richa khare •
I want to know whether there is any written law forbidding people to smoke in public places, especially in children's play area in a residential complex? in my complex this has become an increasing menace and i'm very much worried about my children's health. i want to hv a strong foothold before i confront those people. please help.
thanks for ur valuable advice. i'll definitely ask our property manager to do so.

Law 20 of 2002 does not mention anything about private places such as closed areas but you definitely have the right to approach the landlord and ask him to enforce law 20 of 2002 by prohibiting smoking in children play area or even at the entrance of it.
