malaysia plans tough tobacco law

Reading news off the net and this story caught my eye. Studies had been made and percentage of female smokers have raised by two times the amount. Being a smoker got difference being a male or female one meh? Smoker is a smoker lah.

Anyways, copied this off the text.
"The price of a pack of 20 sticks of cigarettes is now 7.40 ringgit (2.15 dollars) compared with 7.0 ringgit (a year ago)," Lee said, according to the newspaper
Malaysian government really trying to 'toughen' up the tobacco law, by rising the price by 40 cents. Hmmm would it really stop people from buying cigarettes again?
