Yes
Outdoor areas of health, education and sports facilities
Analysis
The law prohibits smoking in all enclosed public places and workplaces. The definition of “enclosed public place” specifically includes “all institutions of health, education and sports with all their open and enclosed annexes.” Therefore, smoking is prohibited in outdoor areas of health, education and sports facilities.
The law aligns with FCTC Art. 8 and the FCTC Art. 8 Guidelines with respect to prohibiting smoking in “other appropriate places.”
