Thanks to Health Promotion Law, Article 25, and the opinions of Tsukuba's residents, all City Hall buildings became smoke free as of April 1, 2004. There will also be no smoking permitted on the grounds or in the buildings of nursery schools, elementary schools, or junior high schools. This also applies to people visiting these facilities. Thank you for your co-operation!
People who manage facilities used by large numbers of people, such as schools, gymnasiums, hospitals, theaters, pavilions, assembly halls, exhibition halls, department stores, offices, public facilities, and restaurants/bars shall endeavor to take the necessary measures to protect users of these facilities from being exposed to passive smoke (being forced to inhale other people's cigarette smoke in an indoor or similar environment).
