KUALA LUMPUR: Increasing tobacco taxes and enforcement are among the most effective measures to curb smoking and the use of tobacco products in line with the “Endgame 2045” initiative, says the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC).
Its president Prof Dr Murallitharan Munisamy said tax increases were among the most effective public health policy instruments to reduce smoking, particularly among the youth and low-income groups.
