ONE in five coffee shops – or more than 2,000 – has rolled down its shutters in the last six months as a result of the ban on smoking in eateries, said operators.
They said six months since the ban was imposed, their business has nosedived as smokers shied away.

Perhaps the government considered the time, money and resources spent treating both smokers and passive smokers when this ban was imposed.

These coffee shop operators are just bullsh*ting! In my housing area there are way too many coffee shops. All of them are selling similar low quality food. It's just a matter of time many coffee shops will have to close down due to poor business. There just aren't enough customers to support so many of them.
Only those selling decent quality food will survive. Blame your poor business skill rather than smoking ban!
Majority of the public support the ban. I will never go into the coffee shop if I see the customers customers smoking in the shop.

Bullshit from cosan. They are facing a situation of too many coffee shops chasing the limited number of customers. If they do not upgrade their food and drinks, Good luck to them. Support smoking ban and make sure it is enforced to the letter.

Cosan coffee is mediocre. Other outlets already closed before the ban was announced. Please la.

The smoking ban has little to no effect. I still see ppl smoking in mamak stalls and coffee shops.

Can ppl smoke in Cosans Coffee as it is aircond ventilated? Don't blame on the policy..and c u see how bubble tea owners did their biz even with the implementation of non smoking policy. The consumers behavior are changing without Cosans Coffee realising it jus like Nokia phone maker story.
