Tough laws to stamp out smoking among the young


THOSE who are born after Jan 1, 2007, may end up paying a RM5,000 fine if they are caught smoking or puffing away on vapes or ecigarettes.

This will come into effect if the Tobacco and Smoking Control Bill, to pave way for the generational end-game laws to ban smoking among the young generations, is passed in Parliament.
