All hands must be on deck for the Control of Smoking Product for Public Health Bill 2023


The Control of Smoking Product for Public Health Bill 2023 seeks to prohibit the sale of cigarettes, tobacco and vape products to anyone born after 2007. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star.

THE Health Ministry has long fought against the prevalent and persistent smoking predicament. Previously, the Control of Tobacco Product and Smoking Bill 2022 was introduced by the Ministry to tighten smoking regulations and end smoking habits among future generations.

The Bill has gone through the first and second readings at the Dewan Rakyat and has been further brought to the Special Select Committee for Consideration of Bills. However, the Bill could not be tabled due to the dissolution of Parliament for the 15th General Election.
