Here is a question for the coffee drinking addicts who are smokers as well. Can you drink coffee without the usual companionship of a cigarette? For some it could be but what is the ratio of coffee drinkers who want a cigarette to go with their favourite brew?
The MMDA is aggressively on the prowl to curb down the millions of smokers in Metro Manila and while the drive has been supposedly limited to public places, it seems that the initiative has extended up to establishments which normally welcome smokers but place them in a dedicated place known as the smoking section or better yet, outside the premises.
The MMDA’s campaign is anchored in the provisions of Republic Act (RA) 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003, and the smoking prohibitions of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and similar ordinances and issuances of local government units (LGU). More.
