Janil Puthucheary on complaints about second-hand smoke from neighbours smoking at home
In 2025, the National Environment Agency (NEA) received about 600 cases of feedback related to second-hand tobacco smoke from neighbouring homes. About 30 per cent were repeat feedback cases. NEA works with other government agencies or the relevant town council to issue advisories and encourage smokers to be considerate towards their neighbours. NEA does not track whether cases are amicably resolved but most feedback cases did not recur after the advisories were issued. Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Janil Puthucheary said this in reply to an MP’s questions in parliament on Wednesday (May 6).
