With the wide spread knowledge of the harm smoking is for the health of the people, today, more and more smokers in Ningbo are conscientiously observing the regulations.
According to related regulations, a taxi driver must not smoke in the taxi, otherwise, he will be imposed a fine of 20-200 yuan. In addition, in case the driver smokes in the car, the rider can refuse to pay the fee.
