New law to ban smoking still at engagement stage - Khairy

The formulation of a bill to ban smoking and possession of smoking products including electronic cigarettes (vaping) for those born after 2005 is still in the engagement stage, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said.

He said even though he hoped to table the new law in the current Parliament session, there are several engagement stages that have to be carried out, including with non-government organisations and industry players.
