PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail wants the sale of Ghost Smoke candies, which emit smoke like cigarettes, to be stopped immediately.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is also Women, Family and Community Development Minister, urged parents to monitor their children closely.
"I don’t want this matter to become a social ill spreading to children from a young age,” she told reporters when asked to comment on the Ghost Smoke candies after the programme "Siri Wacana Sri Satria” here Monday (July 22).
The programme was Dr Wan Azizah’s idea to promote Sri Satria, which is the official residence of the Deputy Prime Minister, as a centre for the growth of knowledge.
Dr Wan Azizah also did not discount the possibility that Ghost Smoke could be the beginning of a drug addiction problem.
"Previously it was smoking, then drugs, and later syabu,” she said.
