On the 1st of January 2019, an unprecedented smoking ban was implemented that involved all public eateries across the country. The ban prohibits smokers from lighting up in any restaurants and anywhere less than 3 meters (10 feet) away from the furthest object of that restaurant (chairs, tables, etc.). Making smoking in public spaces a lot harder to do than it was before. The ban was initially announced in late 2018 and according to the Ministry of Health, the ban is divided into two phases. The first phase refers to the education and warning phase and this phase span for the first 6 months of 2019. It is constructed to be the education and warning phase since no punishment will be given but rather stern issuance of warning from health officers. The second phase is the phase where the ban takes full effect. If a smoker is caught lighting up within 3 meters of any public eateries, they could be fined a maximum of RM10,000 or jailed for up to two years.
