<![CDATA[This study aims to develop an intelligent monitoring system that supports the enforcement of smoking prohibition in public spaces by leveraging advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning. Utilizing the YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once version 8) object detection model, the system is designed to identify smoking activities in real-time and promptly send alerts through the Telegram messaging platform. The proposed method integrates real-time object detection with an automated notification system, ensuring responsive enforcement across diverse environmental conditions, including normal lighting, low-light scenarios, and partially occluded views. The system architecture combines the YOLOv8 model for detection and a Python-based Telegram bot for communication. The model was evaluated using a test dataset collected from various public spaces. It achieved an F1-Score of 81% and a confusion matrix accuracy of 89%, indicating a high level of reliability and precision in identifying smoking behaviors. Additionally, the average notification response time via Telegram was 1.5 seconds, enabling near-instantaneous alerting for enforcement personnel. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the system is both accurate and efficient in detecting smoking activities. Its robust performance across different conditions and rapid alert mechanism positions it as a practical and scalable solution to enhance compliance with smoking regulations in public areas.]]>
