That's given there is an option of non smoking bars etc..in Malaysia there is no such thing yet. Smoking gives too much Tax relief to the government, so even with the lame Tak Nak campaigns, they aren't really against smoking.

Honestly, bars and restaurants are for consumption of food, not smoking. I support this move, it is already in place here in Australia but I wish developing countries such as Malaysia will adopt this move. “They don’t have to come into my establishment if they don’t want to be exposed to smoke,” says bar owner Larry Cusulos.
