Smoking ban extended to cover all station platforms | VRT NWS: news

From now on it is illegal to light up a cigarette, cigar or pipe or to vape on the platforms of the 550 railway stations in Belgium. The ban applies to all platforms, even those that are in the open air. The smoking ban on platforms is the final stage in the gradual process of banning smoking from the Belgian rail network that got under way in 2004 when smoking compartments in trains were scrapped.
