Key industry organizations in the real estate and hospitality sectors have called for stronger measures to address balcony smoking. The consultation period for a proposed law aimed at making balcony smoking illegal has ended. According to the Real Estate Association, smoking should be directly prohibited by law on balconies of multi-family buildings. Rakli, an organization representing property owners and builders, stated that the government's proposed changes could lead to a situation where smoking is prohibited for tenants but allowed for property owners in the same residential building.
