NSTnation: Those caught smoking in no-smoking zones, including all eateries, will be issued a RM250 compound.
Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said the ministry’s officers will be monitoring all no-smoking areas, including eateries, which come under Regulation 11 of the Tobacco Control Regulation Regulations 2004 2018.He added that the number of smokers in eateries had seen a drastic reduction since the government gazetted those areas as no-smoking zones from Jan 1 last year.“This is because many people tend to flout the ruling during the late hours.
“We have given them adequate time. By right, all individuals and owners of premises such as eateries should understand this already,” he said.This can be reduced to RM50 if it is the first offence, and settled at the district health office within a month of the compound being issued.Third time offenders will have to pay a compound of RM350.
