Harmoni States is a developing country and continuously commit to promote a healthy living lifestyle among its citizens. One of the efforts materialised when the Ministry of Health enacted the Tobacco Control Act in March 2019. The Act designates all public places as non-smoking areas. The move is to ensure the public, especially children, will not fall victims to second- hand smoke. In his speech, the Minister said, "It is heart-breaking to see some adults who just puff away while carrying a child in their arms" The government of Harmoni States is actively revising the existing laws that relate to smoking and tobacco to ensure its citizens are adequately protected against the threats from tobacco smoke. The smoke contains thousands of toxic chemicals, known to cause cancer, heart disease, lung infections and other serious health problems. In the near future, Harmoni States will legalise the provisions to prohibit smoking near a minor, regardless of where the offence takes place. Even though the drive can be very challenging, but with good supports from all sectors, particularly civil societies, other government agencies and the private sector, things would turn out well.
