The move, he says, is to ensure the public does not fall victim to secondhand smoke.

The Health Ministry is committed to enacting a standalone Tobacco Control Act in the near future that will designate all public places as no-smoking areas, with a limited list of places where smokers can light up their cigarettes.

He said as with any type of change, modification of inherent societal norms involving smoking would certainly not come easy, but the ministry was confident that it could be done successfully. "It is always heartbreaking for me to see adults puffing away even while carrying a child in their arms," he said in his speech at the Recognition and Awards Ceremony for Revolution Smoke-Free Workplace Campaign in Malacca tonight.

At the event, 14 hotels in Malacca received certification as smoke-free workplaces from the minister.
