Malaysian Health Ministry Set to Propose Public Health Smoking Control Act 2023
Malaysia's Health Ministry plans to introduce the Public Health Control of Smoking Products Act 2023 to regulate harmful tobacco products.

According to a report by TheEdgeMarkets on November 22nd, the Malaysian Ministry of Health is ensuring that the "2023 Public Health Control of Smoking Products Bill" will be presented before the end of the parliamentary session on November 30th. This move aims to address the legal loophole regarding the exclusion of nicotine gel in the 1952 Dangerous Drugs Act.

 

Minister of Health Zaliha Mustafa stated that this legislation aims to comprehensively regulate smoking products that have been scientifically proven to be harmful to one's health.

 

After considering the views of the Attorney General, the Ministry of Health will revise the bill for the proposal in the upcoming cabinet meeting this Friday.
