Thailand is to ban smoking on some of the country’s most popular tourist beaches, with the prospect of up to a year in prison for those caught lighting up, according to reports by local media. 据当地媒体报道，泰国将在该国一些最有名的旅游海滩禁烟。违禁者将面临1年监禁。 The move follows a recent survey of litter on Patong beach, Phuket – visited by millions of foreign tourists each year – which found an average of 0.76 cigarette butts per square metre in a sample area, which would amount to 101,058 butts on the 2.5km-long stretch of sand. 禁令出台前，一项针对普吉岛巴东海滩的最新调查显示，抽样海滩上每平方米平均有0.76个烟蒂。照此计算，在2.5公里长的海滩上总共有101058个烟蒂。每年有数百万外国游客到访普吉岛。 |
