Ulsan KTX Station Smoking Ban Zone... Ulju County Launches Intensive Crackdown

Fines Imposed for Smoking at Bus Stops and Similar Locations

Uljugun Public Health Center announced on the 16th that it will conduct guidance inspections and intensive crackdowns on smoking within the non-smoking area of KTX Ulsan Station from the 15th of this month until the 9th of next month.

This crackdown was initiated in response to an increase in reports of smoking within the non-smoking area by some station users, bus, and taxi drivers. During the first week of the inspection period, there will be a guidance period, followed by three weeks of inspections carried out by two teams of six non-smoking guidance officers at the non-smoking area of KTX Ulsan Station.

If caught smoking in the non-smoking area, a fine of 20,000 KRW will be imposed in accordance with the Uljugun Ordinance on the Creation of a Non-Smoking Environment and Prevention of Damage from Secondhand Smoke. Uljugun Public Health Center will provide information on various options such as smoking cessation education and support services to those caught smoking who wish to have their fines reduced.

An official from Uljugun Public Health Center stated, "We will continue to conduct guidance inspections and crackdowns on smoking in non-smoking areas to prevent the harm of secondhand smoke and create a smoke-free environment."
