Kenya fast facts: smoking in Kenya

Now, here's some good news! Smoking has been banned in public places in three of the major cities in Kenya - Nairobi, Mombassa and Nakuru.

Breaking the law could mean a 2000 shilling fine, or jail time... even for international travellers :)

Luckily we weren't caught by the police last time, but rather stopped by a concerned passer by who hurriedly told a shall-remain-nameless doctor to put his cigarette out before he copped a fine.

Said doctor was slightly surprised at the time, but now I have PROOF that this rule is in fact law (see local laws).

It might be one small and rather irrelevant victory for the anti-smoking campaign, but I'll take all I can get! :)
