Effective planning and implementation key to success of anti-smoking law, says health coalition

KUALA LUMPUR: A coalition of more than 40 health professional societies and health professionals have backed the proposed Tobacco and Smoking Control Bill, saying that effective planning, coordination and implementation will be the key to its success.

The Malaysian Health Coalition (MHC) said the Bill was significant as it could curb the number of teenagers exposed to tobacco products while reducing its impact on low income households.
