Smoking ban at eateries: Enforcement starts next year as education period ends Dec 31, says ministry


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry says it will fully enforce the smoking ban at all public eateries starting Jan 1, 2020, following the High Court ruling that such a ban does not breach people's right to liberty and equality.
