Humans first found out about tabacco plants about 18,000 years ago when migrant Asiatic people first spread across the continents known as the America. Tobacco was being grown by American Indians before the Europeans came from England, Spain, France, and Italy to North America. Pipes were used by native amaricans to smoke tobacco. They did not smoke every day but the main reason for smoking was for religious and medical purposes . Tobacco was first widely grown for money in North Amarica . In 1612 the settlers of the first American colony in Jamestown, Virginia grew tobacco as a cash crop. It was the main source of money back then , even the first Presedent of the U.S. grew tobacco .

I have been at many public areas which have a NO SMOKING sign and I still see people smoking around the area. Even thou they are cought for the act and fined. It would not make much difference because the fine put on for smoking in a public is just RM250 which is not much and the same problem will reaccour. People will be still smoking in non-smoking areas. Public smoking is really bad and selfish. Even thou the smoker is distroying is health by smoking he/she are dameging the publics health in a even worst manner. By exhaling secound hand smoke which is even worst compaired to normal smoking .

Research Question

1 why public smoking is a problem in Malaysia ? First of all Smoking in Malaysia was first dealt with in legislation requiring a general warning message on all Malaysian cigarette packaging in 1976. Smoking has bans in public places started to be implemented in the 1980s. Selling of cigarettes to persons under the age of 18 has been illegal since early May 1994. Malaysia is ranked 71st in per capita cigarette use, with an average of 646 cigarettes smoked per adult yearly so that results in banding to smoke in private office places and Smokers who break the ban may be fined up to RM10,000, or two years of sentence. Its a fact that most public health campaigns waged against the legal tobacco industry and cigarette smokers considered to do one thing to line up the pockets of federal and state governments, trial lawyers, insurance companies, and many others in the health related professions. 2.
