Smoking ban in Selangor parks begins tomorrow

A bunting in Taman Jaya, Petaling Jaya, informs the public of the gazetting of parks and the fines imposed for smoking in the area.

From tomorrow, it will be illegal to light up at public parks in Selangor gazetted as no-smoking zones. This excludes open carpark areas.

Under The Control of Tobacco Product (Amendment) Regulations 2017, those caught flouting the law will face a maximum fine of RM10,000 or up to two years’ imprisonment. This includes smoking e-cigarettes.
