Smoking is not allowed at the Sami Ofer Stadium in Haifa, so what?

As a Maccabi Haifa fan, I often come to the team's games at the Sami Ofer Stadium. Many fans come to every game to cheer and to experience the game up close, and usually the players make sure that they return home happy. Something that regularly bothers many fans, myself included, and endangers the health of those around, is smoking in the stadium stands.

The law for the prevention of smoking in public places and exposure to smoking, 1983 prohibits smoking in public places, including sports stadiums.

It has been known for years that smoking is harmful, studies prove that smoking can cause cancer and a wide variety of diseases, not only for the smoker himself but also for those around him. Passive smoking can cause diseases to the same extent as active smoking, so the one who smokes actually endangers himself and everyone around him.

Smoking on the football fields is a brazen and inconsiderate act, which endangers the health of those around, and this is also without considering that it is simply a violation of the law! Why are there no inspectors who punish those who break the law? It seems that none of the smokers is afraid to light another cigarette and another, and the fans can only inhale more and more smoke, completely against their will.

  1. You are welcome to sit in the east or west stands where I'm sure they don't smoke.
    The municipality cannot let inspectors into the stands or check with cameras and send a report... there is really no way to enforce it properly. There are much more important things to worry about during the game.
    Successfully

  2. A subscription with my children and just a shame for the stadium management.
    You can't enjoy a game without waves of smelly smoke.
    I photographed and documented it, of course I sent several complaints.
    In one of the documents that were sent, people smoke directly in front of the security guards, but they are not interested.
    What did they do with all my complaints....They burned

  3. Listen, you're absolutely right. Just this week, I was talking about this with my friend. It's already unbearable that you go to a game and there are people who smoke

  4. Unfortunately, a high % of the people of Israel and those who live in this land, including other nationalities, have a completely deficient culture, despise order and discipline, despise the law in all areas of life. These wretches, lacking reason and intelligence, are the downfall of the entire country. Destruction and collapse of society in Israel as a whole. Consider against the destruction of the third house. The future will only prove it.

  5. The stadium is owned by the municipality. There should have been municipal inspectors there to enforce the law. When there is none, everyone judges themselves. The only inspectors you've seen in recent years, walking around between parked cars and giving reports. When the law isn't being enforced, why would anyone hold back. The claim that it's unhealthy doesn't affect him. He's an addict and what does he care that the non-smoker suffers too...

  6. correct. And the hallucination is that the ushers who sit all along the stands with orange vests and watch the crowd simply ignore and prefer not to bother with it. At least 3 times I have seen smokers sitting in the first rows. And beeping at everyone!

    • The stewards and inspectors are busy watching the field and the players. They don't have time to deal with the criminals and maybe they are afraid of them...

  7. why suddenly stop???
    Sports and sports go well hand in hand.

    The Israeli sport of juggling rules was invented long before they discovered that the ball is round...
