Bone to pick with Health Ministry on move to make smokers quit


Smoking area can now seen at Parliament canteen. The management decided to make a room for smokers.

I REFER to the reports on the decision by the Health Ministry to ban smoking in all restaurants and hawker stalls across Malaysia and imposing on those who flout this rule a fine of RM10,000 or jail for up to two years.

Being a smoker, I am against this rule because we smokers have rights too. You can’t impose what you want upon others as it is fundamentally against our freedom. If we want to eat fat and lard and risk a heart attack, it is our right.
