Hi, can anybody explain if someone smoking inside the bachelor accommodation which is covered is prohibited? Is there any authority institute or personnel to complain?

During the holy month of Ramadan smoking, eating and drinking are not permitted in public during daylight hours.

Good question I have very gud reply. Drunk and drive is prohibited in qatar and smoking in public place is prohibited in qatar.

Both are gud things.

1. Drunk and drive - it will lead to accidents and it will lead to blood money punishment.

2. Smoking in public place is harm for other people who is near to you.

SO PLS DO DO BOTH THE THINGS IN PUBLIC AREAS.

No.

But alcohol is only served in hotels, and you need a license to buy it from the distribution centre for consumption in your home.

And smoking is banned inside public buildings (restaurants, shopping malls etc) but this is generally ignored.
