If yes, are they allowed to be more stringent than national law?
If yes, do one or more sub-national jurisdictions have smoke-free laws more stringent than national law?
A brief comment on the extent of sub-national legislation:
In April 2010, the Melaka State Government, one of the 15 states in Malaysia, which is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, declared Melaka to be a Smoke Free City. In June 2011, the State Government designated five areas as smoke-free: the 4.2sq km World Heritage City, Taman Melaka Raya, the Malacca International Trade Centre in Ayer Keroh, and the Alor Gajah and Jasin town centres. Since then, several other State and Federal Territory governments and declared municipalities or parts of municipalities to be smoke free. These places are noted in the Second Schedule to the Control Of Smoking Products For Public Health (Declaration Of Non-Smoking Area Or Place) Order 2024.
