Intro:

The centuries-old habit of puffing of tobacco will not just go away in smoke even after labelling it as 'haram', while the old and young in the Sultanate smoke for pleasure or style.

There is no indication whatsoever that the Sultanate is winning its nationwide anti-smoking rally launched more than a year ago to smoke out the habit especially among teenagers...

To sway an effective anti-smoking rally, various form of regulations or ordinance were enacted. Restaurants were told to segregate smoking section and shops were asked not to sell cigarettes to the underage.

However, smoking is still a mainstream of life among many in the Sultanate. This includes teenagers, who can be seen puffing off merrily in many popular hangout.
