Kampotians should get behind this great initiative.
Think about it. No Chinese will ever go there!

Last time i was there, saw a lot of people of all age openly smoking weed everywhere; on patios of restaurants, inside bars and public places. That's why Kampot town has the reputation as a sleepy lay back pot friendly destination.

Also a majority of the Chinese from China are heavy smokers. I don't think they would be to thrilled with a smoke free zone.

If this new law is enforced, I think it will have a negative affect on tourism for Kampot. Instead of a positive one.

this, so true, usually went into Kampot at least once a week for shopping and a decent meal ( Kep had neither)
every time i'd be in a restaurant, ( some more than others) someone would be smoking cigs and or pot
passing a law in Kampot making it illegal, wont be enforced at all

A smoker was here enjoying one's self , and now a worker is having to clean all the nicotine and thc off the ceiling before painting it. You get to thinking the colour of the tiles is the natural colour until you clean one spot and presto,, there is a whole new life under all that smoke stain.

Cambodia Promoting Smoke-Free Tourism
AKP Phnom Penh, January 20, 2023 --

Ministry of Tourism has set guidelines for the establishment of smoke-free tourism city to discourage the harm of tobacco products in Cambodia.

The recent introduction of the guidelines on the establishment of a smoke-free tourism city will strengthen the implementation of minimum standard operating procedures on smoke-free tourism through engagement of municipal, district and Khan administrations.

H.E. Hor Sarun, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Tourism, expected that the guidelines will contribute positively to health, economy, society and the environment.

The Ministry of Tourism has disseminated and raised awareness of laws and regulations related to the control of tobacco products among tourism businesses, he said.

He added that the Ministry of Tourism has also presented awards and recognition to tourism service businesses that have excelled in implementing a smoke-free environment.

Let's hope that Kampot enforces this from the top, leaving it up to the restaurateurs doesn't work. Non-smokers complain about the smokers, smokers (especially the Europeans, who can't smoke almost anywhere public in their own countries) complain even if they are only made to sit outside, it's a lose-lose situation. This town was supposed to be non-smoking for a while, and the police wanted to enforce this by fining the restaurant owners if they saw any customers smoking on the premises, that was a low point. I used to smoke, haven't for 10 years now, and have become radicalised on the issue, but if you run a restaurant you do need to get bums on seats, especially since tourism isn't exactly booming, post-covid. Good luck, Kampot!
