Smoking to be banned in taxis

Smoking will be prohibited in taxis soon based on amendments to be made in Law on Tobacco.

The changes will be initiated during a bureau sitting on November 29. Majority MPs Dimitri Khundadze and Lado Kakhadze initiated the proposed change.

Based on the initiative, smoking will be prohibited in cars which transport juveniles. The fines will be imposed amounting to up to 200 GEL. Smoking by a driver in a motorcar will be penalized by 50 GEL.
