Recently, photos of what looked like a cabin for smokers were uploaded on Facebook by page called "Smoking Cabin SG"
According to the aptly named page on Facebook, the cabin below is 50% complete.
Singaporean news site Mothership.SG was the first to report about on 4 May.
In its report, the local website said that the smoking cabin "seeks to solve" the recent problem of "smokers squeezing into smoke within a regulated area."
In a second photo uploaded by the page, which shows a 70% complete cabin, the thing works to filter the second-hand smoke
"The second-hand smoke in the cabin is quickly taken in by this air-cleaning system and effectively filtered away. What comes out is clean filtered air for you and the people outside. To achieve good air quality for everyone, there are 3 layers of filters used," reads a description in the photo that was uploaded on 2 May.
While the cabin looks good, some Redditors expressed concerns about whether it will have a "good way to cool down the people"
According to the company, the cabin, which is designed in Denmark, will maintain a temperature between 25 and 27 deg C
On its Instagram page, the company posted an infographic to explain how the cabin will purify the smoke
And it seems the company has already opened a cabin. However, no information about the exact location was given in the post.
