Eateries object to smoking ban


KUALA LUMPUR: Coffeeshop and restaurant owners in the country are objecting against the move to ban smoking on their premises, claiming that the Health Ministry is now meddling into their businesses.

Leaders of three associations, who held a press conference to announce the unhappiness of their members over the ministry’s move, said the ban will discourage smoking patrons from coming and affecting business.
