Tobacco is the single most preventable cause of 

death in the world today. Currently it is believedto be killing more than 5 million people in theworld each year. It is the only legal product, as

far as I know, that harms and even kills up to 1 in

every 2 of its consumers. Although tobacco-related deaths rarely make the headlines, every6 seconds somewhere in this world, a victim

will succumb to tobacco.

According to our 3rd National Health andMorbidity Survey in 2006, there were almost 3

million smokers in Malaysia (made up roughly of 2.8 million adults and 0.2 million minors below18 years of age). When compared with the2nd survey conducted 10 years earlier (i.e. in1996) there appeared to have been an overall

decrease of 3.3% in the national smokingprevalence. This reduction may be attributed tothe numerous efforts made by the Government,particularly the Ministry of Health, in curbing thetobacco menace. However, I have told my

officers that I am still not satisfied with thisseeming achievement, as this percentage dropover 10 years, though encouraging, is still notgreat enough.

non-smokers are also at high risk of contractingdiseases if they are frequently exposed to second-handsmoke. As such, the Ministry of Health will continue toexpand the list of designated, no-smoking areas, toinclude more and more public places as well asworkplaces. This is in line with our commitment to theWHOs Framework Convention on Tobacco Control,

which is a foremost global, public health treaty. Highereducational institutions, including campus, are already adesignated smoke-free area under Regulation 11(1)(j) of the Control of Tobacco Products Regulations 2004.Hence, anyone lighting up to smoke within premises

would actually be committing an offence. The campusadministration can help us enforce this legal provision,and should you need assistance, you are welcome toseek it from the nearest Health Department.
