No Smoking Area
September 23rd, 2006 by fiorelino
This sign is actually already begin as a part of public area. For those who still can not leave the habit, normally the institution or probably the cigarette provider provide a place where those people can smoke.
Unfortunately there are some people, who just ignore the sign as if they can’t see … Actually I would like to write ‘as if they can’t read’ but I changed my mind, because when we see the sign, you don’t have to be able to read to understand it. The sign contains a picture that can represents any language!!
So definetely those people can’t see or ignoring to obey the rule.
At first, I thought, that’s because there is ’special security’ to keep the rule being followed and also there is no sanction (consequence) if they don’t obey the rule. But after talking with other passenger in Mandala while waiting until the counter for check in opened, now I know that the government in Indo already has some kind of ‘police’ to make sure, that the rule is being followed. But he said too, that those ‘police’ are just chatting with each other and don’t really care if someone does something that actually not allowed, as long as it not really dangerous … (probably they tought that way) …. it’s wrong!!
It effects not directly at the time, but the effect will come latter … and latter could be late …
I wish government give a penalty for those who just ignore the rule, as they ignore the rule in the street, that sometime couldn’t be seen.
Those ‘police’ should have kind of ticket that received by the person who doesn’t follow the rule. So beside buying the cigarette, those people will pay also the cost to cleaning up the environment. But it should be done correctly. Meaning that, those people should aware how much is the penalty ticket and they should asked that ticket to the ‘police’.
If this could be proceed, probably income of the country will be increased… and this will educate people too…some people need to be forced, because: Only sign or warning without any penalty or consequence, they don’t change.
While waiting for the opening of check-in counter, I’ve already warned five people who smoke in that area. I asked them to read and follow the sign, and they were just smiling with the eye ‘I smoke - so what’. Three of them are security of Lion air and two of them are also a crew of something I couldn’t read, coz they were about 5 m from me.
They have an ID Tag in their safari-uniform, and they stand just in front of the sign ….. ck ck ck
