-

The Ethiopian Government has placed a ban on smoking at public gatherings.

This new law makes smoking illegal in bars, cafés, restaurants, schools, hospitals and stadiums as well as cultural and religious events, but smoking on the streets is still permitted.

Tobacco advertising is also banned, according to local media.

Offenders will face a fine of 2,000 Ethiopian biir - that's about $92, rising to 2,500 Birr or $116 for smokers who send children under the age of 18 to buy cigarettes for them.
