Health Ministry to re-examine tobacco generational endgame policy

KUALA LUMPUR: The tobacco generational endgame (GEG) policy will be re-examined in terms of its implementation through the Control of Tobacco Product and Smoking Bill 2022 which has yet to be approved in Parliament, says Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

"Generally, to me, it (GEG policy) has its advantages but I have to look into the implementation process when we have reached a decision as implementation of measures cannot be drastic... I will look into that," she said when appearing as a guest on Bernama Radio’s Bersama Pemimpin programme here.
