Samsuddin Khalid, 50, said he enjoyed smoking after a meal, adding that designated smoking areas should be created for smokers. “The ban is a good move but the rights of smokers should also be considered,” he said. Meanwhile, Christine Chiam, 30, expressed her frustrations over the ban and hoped the government would be more understanding towards smokers’ rights. Shelyn Poh disagreed with the smoking ban and felt that smokers were unprepared for the new policy. “Non-smokers have the right to smoke-free areas but smokers have the right to smoke too,” said the 19-year-old student.
