It is always a pleasure to visit Hong Kong and I felt things would be even better thanks to the smoking ban in pubs and public open spaces. However, I see the law being flouted and it is getting worse. In November there were some incidents, in January a few more, and this month I saw people smoking in so many establishments.
The government seems to be willing to let Hong Kong return to the bad old days. What a shame it will not enforce the law.
There are now several establishments I will not go to because the smoking problem is worse than ever, so at least I’m saving money.
I hope for Hong Kong’s sake the government wakes up before it is too late and the bad old days are back forever.
