Dzul: Display ban won’t cost sundry shops that much


PUTRAJAYA: The display ban just means businesses only need to ensure their tobacco product displays are not visible, especially to children, which may not incur significant refurbishment costs, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

Refuting claims by sundry shop owners that refurbishments to abide by a display ban on all tobacco and vape products would cost nearly RM300mil, the Health Minister said they only had to make sure the products were not visible to children.
