Malacca bans smoking in Jonker Walk and Jalan Kota
Smoking stinks! When you smoke you tend to have:
- bad breath
- yellow teeth
- smelly clothes
- more colds and coughs
- difficulty to keep up in sports
- and also an empty wallet. A pack of cigarettes could easily buy you two meals and any Menu Rakyat 1Malaysia restaurant.
Smokers also have a significantly higher risk of developing all types of cancer.
There are over 4,000 compounds in cigarette smoke and mostly are toxic and carcinogenic, which are bad for us and will damage our cells.
Smokers can also undermine the health of non-smokers in the same area and that’s why we fully support the State Government for banning smoking at major tourist attractions in Malacca. This could be a start to make Malacca the first smoking free state in Malaysia 🙂
