Malaysia Cracks Down on Youth Smoking: The New Tobacco Control Law

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. This significant step, part of the Public Health Tobacco Control Products Act 2024 (Act 852), promises to reshape the landscape of youth smoking in the country. So, grab your popcorn (non-smoking related, of course), and let’s dive into the details of this legislative showdown.
