Penang unable to keep vaping out of heritage areas


GEORGE TOWN: State health and environment officials are fuming that they do not have the power to stop those vaping in the heritage enclave here.

Smoking has been banned in the core and buffer zones of the George Town heritage en­cl­­ave since July 1 but the gazette does not inc­l­ude vaping.
