PETALING JAYA: MALAYSIA’S generational-end game (GEG) bill is a preventive vaccine that complements a curative approach to the tobacco pandemic, says the 18-party international tobacco control community in a statement lending support for the policy.
The GEG bill, formally known as the Control of Tobacco Products and Smoking Bill 2022, was applauded as a visionary effort to strengthen tobacco control by 18 international health-based organisations, including South-East Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA) and Union for International Cancer in a statement released on Sept 30.
