News & Reviews:   smoking

It seems like Facebook is trying to bring a more positive vibe to its photo-centric social media platform Instagram. Earlier, we’ve heard the platform is attempted to hide the likes of the posts, which is to promote the idea of focusing more on content rather than like counts. Now, it is trying to keep the social media platform clean by banning the influencers to promote vaping and smoking.

Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia has recently made a tweet (which has been removed) stating that you can report smokers to them via WhatsApp. This is due to a recent restriction that was introduced on 1 January 2019 in which states that the use of cigarettes, shisha as well as e-cigarettes containing nicotine will not be allowed near a restaurant. Any individuals who fail to adhere to the restrictions will be fined up to RM10000 or up to 2 years jail time.
