Council: No reason to bring back 'kiddie' cig packs

The filters on light cigarettes give the illusion that it is safer, but it really isn't, says new report.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC) has dismissed claims that smaller “kiddie” cigarette packs would help curb the sales of illicit cigarettes.

In a statement on Wednesday, the MCTC said that the reasons given in reports for the proposal of bringing back “kiddie” packs were unfounded.
