Ulsan Buk-gu Public Health Center announced on the 5th that it designated all four common living areas of the apartment?hallways, stairs, elevators, and underground parking lots?as non-smoking zones, obtaining consent from 66.4% (202 households) of the total 304 households. This is the 10th non-smoking apartment in Buk-gu.

Buk-gu Public Health Center installed non-smoking apartment signs and banners and will operate a guidance and publicity period for three months from the 6th to October 5th. From October 6th, a fine of 50,000 KRW will be imposed if smoking is detected in the non-smoking zones. Electronic cigarettes are also included in smoking acts and subject to fines.

Applications for non-smoking apartment designation can be made by obtaining consent from more than half of the household heads living in the apartment according to the National Health Promotion Act, designating all or part of the four areas?hallways, stairs, elevators, and underground parking lots?as non-smoking zones.
