The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr Adeoye Aribasoye, on Monday, expressed the legislative body’s readiness to enact a law prohibiting smoking in public places.

The Speaker charged parents and other stakeholders to join hands with the state government to battle the menace of drug abuse to a standstill in order to have a saner society, cautioning that drug abusers would face the wrath of the law.

Aribasoye said, “One of the things that have destroyed the future of the youths is drug abuse and all of us must be ambassadors. All of us must be champions to campaign against drug abuse. Anywhere we find ourselves, we must campaign against drug abuse. We just have to do it for us to have a saner society.

“Very soon, we are coming up with a law against public smoking. Public smoking does not only affect the smokers, but also those who don’t smoke who must be protected from the effects of public smoking.”All rights reserved.
