The decision to expand the places of non-smoking zones from April 1 was made taking into consideration the requests of Kaunas residents who wanted to live in the healthy atmosphere.
"Year ago, I propose to ban smoking in the public transport stops. It is great that Kaunas city decided and adopted such an important decision because, until now, people had no choice – they were standing in the public transport stops and passively smoking and the smokers was killing them," said deputy Mayor of Kaunas city Stanislovas Buskevicius.
