Abstract

haze blown far away. There is a good chance that blue skies will be here again, if only many more of the socalled hotspots are extinguished, giving Malaysians the much needed breath of fresh air to celebrate National day. This is in contrast to another situation where almost full control could be asserted but somehow there seems some reluctance. We are referring to the many millions of little hotspots — the cigarettes which produce a multitude of toxic fumes — and fatal ones at that. There are many poisonous particulates and fumes in cigarette smoke. One of them is carbon monoxide, a silent killer gas, similar to that found in motor vehicle emissions or haze. More than a dozen of these cause cancer. All these are firm rationale why smoking is banned in many public places, now an international norm.
