GEG, a move in the right direction

THE good news is that the long-awaited Tobacco and Smoking Control Bill, also known as the “Generational End Game” (GEG), was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat last Wednesday.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin tabled the Bill for the first reading, conceding that the law will apply to those born from 2007 onwards, and not 2005 as initially proposed.
