Unfortunately all these efforts have become futile. Much time and money have been spent towards treating these hardcore smokers but alas only a few survived the treatment and were able to leave smoking for good.
Yesterday (18 Jan 2010), Utusan also published an almost complete page in an effort to explain to the rakyat that it is not their fault the campaign failed, and that the smokers themselves were to be blame for their negative attitude towards the "Stop Smoking Clinic" and for being 'egoistic' or 'the ego smokers' as Utusan termed them.
Click on the pics above to read the selected reports or better still read the whole context of the special report in the hard-copy itself.
Today I am also dedicating this page towards the effort (or the vain effort rather) done by the various government agencies towards the "Stop Smoking Campaign" with various names and strategies being conducted nationwide throughout the years.
I am not going to opine further, you readers be the judge whether what we have done is suffice or just as the title of this entry says -- all the effort, time and money has just literally "gone up in smoke..."
