KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Health Minister, Dr. Fenton Ferguson has made it clear that there will be no reversal of a decision by the Portia Simpson Miller led administration to enforce a smoking ban in public places.
Since the implementation of the ban, the Health Minister has come under pressure from the opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and members of his own party who have voiced concern about the way in which the ban came into being.
In a release late Wednesday, Ferguson said he is open to suggestions on how to make the process easier for businesses and individuals.
