The controversial topic of alcohol that was initiated by the late Rames Rao has sparked waves all over social media. There were a number of conservatives that agreed with him and wanted to take things further.
Apparently there were a number of netizens who suggested that alcohol should be covered with black cloth. However, this netizen stated that if alcohol is to be covered with black cloth, so should cigarettes.
Conservative Malaysians’ thoughts on cigarettes
Some are stating that looking at cigarette boxes is triggering to those that are non-smokers. Furthermore, he added that cigarettes should be covered with black cloth and be hidden away from the eyes of the public.
Others stated that since it is classified as “haram” they should be placed at the non-Halal sections of the supermarkets. There was another suggestion that stores should place these products under the table hidden away and would only be taken out upon request only.
It is unsure what will be classified as “haram” next, as now, cigarettes are still taxed by the government and are also helping for the development of our country. If the government were to ban them, the cost of necessities might increase further due to the taxation needed to cover up the losses.
