In Budapest smoking is prohibited from 5th August 2010 by order of the capital’s Municipal Assembly /Reg. 34/2010. (VI. 21.)/ in the subways. Breaking the regulation means infringement, thus smokers can be punished with a 30 000 HUF fine for lighting up or the delegate of the Capital Public Area Supervisory Body (PASB) can impose a fine on the spot. Camera system in subways and ten miniature cameras fixed on the clothes of the staff of PASB for testing facilitate controlling and demonstration. In eight districts of the capital 80-100 delegates are in attendance upon PASB.
