Ban vaping in hotels and other places too

THE Government recently announced its intention to ban smoking in hotels by the end of 2016 and subsequently in other public places.

Hoteliers from the Malaysian Association of Hotels, however, have asked if the Tobacco Control and Smoking Bill would make provisions for designated smoking zones. Until the implementation of the ban, the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) stands firm that the Government must not accede to any appeal to designate certain areas as smoking zones, even cigar bars.
