Smoke Free KL?

Vientiane, the capital of Laos will be host to the 25th Edition of SEA Games in December this year. I was browsing the SEA Games website and foud this good news.

We in Malaysia say if they can do it, why can't we. Now I am asking if Vientaine can become a smoke free city, why can't Kuala Lumpur?. Health is everybody's right. But his/her right is being sodomised (ooppssss) daily by inconsiderate people nearby. And one of them is smokers. I just couldn't think why most smokers are so inconsiderate to other people. They just light up when and where they like sending unhealthy toxic tainted smoke to innocent by standers around them.

I would become restless whenever at eating outlet and someone smokes. And worse still the smoke blowing into my direction. I will always hold my breathe until the smoke flow past or at times when the smoke keep coming in, I will curse silently because I have to turn away my head tp breathe. They are so inconsiderate.

So how nice if Kuala Lumpur can create a smoke free city too.

Picked the news below from HERE.
