Seven smokers file appeal for right to puff away at eateries

Seven individuals have now gone to the Court of Appeal to challenge the Health Ministry’s smoking ban at food outlets which was enforced beginning Jan 1.

This was confirmed by their counsel Mohd Haniff Khatri Abdulla in a text message this afternoon...
