1. Mr Justice Tong has certified the involvement of a point of law of great and general importance. It is the prosecution’s point that the expression “the total area on all sides” in the definition of “indoor” provided by s.2 of the Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance, Cap.371, does not mean (as the judge thought it meant when quashing this conviction for carrying a lighted cigarette in a no smoking area) the total area on each and every side.
