In a move that would make even the strictest of parents nod in approval, Malaysia is stepping up its game against youth smoking. As MSN reported on June 3, Malaysian Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad announced that a new law prohibiting the sale and purchase of tobacco products, smoking supplies, or alternative tobacco to minors under the age of 18 will be officially implemented this year.

So, grab your popcorn (non-smoking related, of course), and let’s dive into the details of this legislative showdown.
