International anti-tobacco groups laud Malaysia’s GEG Bill


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s generational end game (GEG) Bill is a preventive vaccine that complements a curative approach to the tobacco pandemic, says the 18-party international tobacco control community in a statement lending support for the policy.

The GEG Bill, formally known as the Control of Tobacco Products and Smoking Bill 2022, was applauded as a visionary effort to strengthen tobacco control by 18 international health-based organisations, including South-East Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (Seatca) and Union for International Cancer, in a statement released on Friday.
