Authorities have proposed amending existing anti-smoking laws, which will include a ban on the possession and use of alternative smoking products, such as e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, in public by next year.

Other potential measures include prohibiting smoking while queuing and within three metres of the doorways of hospitals, clinics, care homes, and childcare centres.

And after 9:45, we learned more about a recent tourism satisfaction index published by the Polytechnic University.
