KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — The Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control has proposed that the government impose short to long-term measures to control nicotine addiction including introducing a roadmap and national level-control plan.
It said the government needs to strengthen its education campaigns and at the same time, widening the cessation of services to those who are addicted to nicotine, regardless of whether they are using conventional cigarettes or e-cigarettes. It also called on the government to ensure the Control of Tobacco Products and Smoking Bill as per its original intent and content is tabled and approved as quickly as possible.
MCTC’s statement was in response to the government’s move to remove nicotine from the Poisons List despite opposition from health professionals including those within the MCTC umbrella. It said the revenue can be earned through other mechanisms that do not harm the health of Malaysians, unlike this move.
