We're starting to look a lot more like Japan, folks, and in a good way.
On Jan. 5, Nee Soon launched its first community-led smoke-free zone, which has six Designated Smoking Points (DSP), each made up of three-sided translucent partitions with weighted parasols.

At this point, smoking is already banned in outdoor public areas like bus stops, covered linkways and void decks.
