Protect patrons of food centres from secondhand smoke

Smoking is not barred at all food centres. This puzzles me.

The popular Amoy Street Food Centre on Maxwell Road, for instance, is usually packed at lunchtime. Yet there is a row of seats for smokers.

While non-smoking patrons who form the majority have lunch, they have to endure secondhand smoke from the row of smokers happily puffing away.

There is no barrier preventing smoke from drifting over.

How are the environment authorities protecting non-smokers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke?
