Protect new generations from harm, support Tobacco Control Bill


THE People’s Health Forum expresses strong support for the Control of Tobacco Product and Smoking Bill that will be debated in Parliament Tuesday (Aug 2) on its second reading. This is definitely a bold move and a show of political will, given how much pressure is exerted by the industry lobbies to stop this Bill.

A dedicated standalone Act for tobacco control including regulating and restricting vape and e-cigarettes is timely and necessary for an effective policy to prevent new generations from picking up the habit that will cause high addiction to nicotine.
