To ensure compliance, heavy fines and legal penalties will be imposed on individuals and businesses found violating these regulations.

Public awareness campaigns will accompany the enforcement of the act, educating people on the harmful effects of smoking and the benefits of a smoke-free society. As Fitzland moves forward with its public health initiatives, the government hopes that this act will serve as a model for other nations striving to combat tobacco-related health risks.
