It’s about time, but it’s just the first step, says MCTC

PETALING JAYA: The passing of the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health 2023 Bill is long overdue given that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of deaths in the country, says the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC).

Its president Prof Datuk Dr Lekhraj Rampal said having the Bill passed was more important at this juncture than the Generational Endgame (GEG) provision.
