In a concerning development ahead of the Osaka Expo, authorities have announced the removal of designated smoking areas due to the risk of gas explosions. This decision comes in the wake of a serious incident where a methane gas explosion occurred at a nearby construction site, raising alarms about safety at the Expo venue.

Former journalist Izumi Koda, who continues to engage in journalism activities in Osaka, discussed the situation during a recent interview. She expressed initial skepticism about the reports but confirmed that the smoking areas, which were supposed to be established near the venue, were indeed scrapped following the explosion, which fortunately did not result in injuries. Koda noted the ongoing monitoring of methane levels in the area, indicating that lingering gas emissions made the establishment of smoking zones untenable.

Despite the lack of an official announcement regarding the smoking area removal, media reports have highlighted the potential dangers posed by the gas. The Expo site, located on reclaimed land, has been a focal point of concern due to its unstable geological conditions. Koda emphasized that the land’s history as a dumping ground for construction waste and other materials has contributed to the ongoing methane release.

As Osaka city recently enacted a strict ban on street smoking, those intending to visit the Expo may find it increasingly difficult to smoke legally. With a lack of designated smoking areas, visitors are left with little choice but to comply with the regulations or face fines.

The situation raises broader questions about safety and preparedness as the Expo approaches. Concerns about methane gas emissions not only affect smoking regulations but also pose a potential threat to the overall safety of the venue. With several months until the event, both authorities and visitors alike hope for a resolution that ensures safety and compliance with public health regulations.
