KUALA LUMPUR: The Generational Endgame (GEG) component in the anti-smoking Bill was killed due to influence from the tobacco and vape industry, says Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni.
The Deputy Health Minister revealed that lobbyists from the industry had indeed met with MPs in Parliament ahead of the debate on the Revised Control of Smoking Products for Public Health 2023 Bill.
