Adopt plain packaging of cigarettes, says CAP

As a result of the implementation, smoking rate dropped to 12.8 from 15, says Mohamed Idris

THE Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) is calling for the implementation of plain packaging of cigarette packs to make it less ‘attractive’ to smokers, particularly women and youths.

Its president S. M. Mohamed Idris said Malaysia should follow in the footsteps of countries like France, United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia in doing this.
