Subra: Authorities stepping up enforcement in bid to deter smoking habit


IPOH: All rest and recreation (R&R) stops along highways are to be designated as “no-smoking” zones by year-end, with the coverage expanding to a radius of 3m around the covered areas of the facility.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam, who announced this yesterday, said it would mean that eateries and even toilets at R&Rs would be smoke-free.
