PENANG: Smoking should not be viewed as a glamorous activity since it speeds up the ageing process and causes smoking-related diseases, said Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Clearinghouse for Tobacco Control (C-Tob) assistant co-ordinator Razak Lajis yesterday. 

He said smoking also caused bad breath, stained the fingers and teeth, and caused one’s clothes to smell.
