Health Department Launches New Anti-Smoking Media Campaign Targeting Male Smokers

The Health Department today launched a new media campaign to encourage men to quit smoking. In 2017 in New York City, men were nearly twice as likely to smoke as women, and their rates have not declined since 2010. More than one in six men smoke cigarettes (17.5 percent). Quitting smoking lowers the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancers, lung disease and other illnesses. The campaign will run on TV, on social media, in newspapers, in the subway, and on the Staten Island Ferry. Today through Thursday, October 18, New Yorkers who want help to quit smoking can apply for free nicotinic patches and lozenges by going online at nysmokefree.com or calling 1-866-NY-QUITS.

A typical Malaysian kopitiam is a ramshackle hangout where people drop in to read the morning paper, grab breakfast, catch up on neighborhood gossip and do all the other things that classically accompany a cup of tea or coffee. Something of that spirit pervades Kopitiam, too.
