A month ago, when JP Morgan made a TP callof $9.50, most of us would have thought that's an outrageous target. But now, that target price no longer looks unrealistic but within reach.
@jnlee Generational End Game (GEG) a bill is a bit of a misnomer because it refers to only a section of the Control of Tobacco Products and Smoking Bill 2022. The other sections include various regulations to control the sale of tobacco and vape products and have been in the works...1 Aug 2022
What is geg malaysia? MALAYSIANS are generally supportive of the government's tobacco generational endgame (GEG) policy, which seeks to enact a law prohibiting smoking to individuals born from 2007 onwards.
OK, so the Government wants to implement one of the most ambitious public health plans EVER—by banning the use, possession and sale of cigarette and vape products for people born after 2007.
-ADVERTISEMENT-
The plan was introduced by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin earlier this year and a bill for the proposed law has already been tabled for reading in Parliament.
This law has been called many names like the Generational End Game (GEG) and ‘Anti-Rokok-18’. But the goal remains the same: to create a smoke-free Malaysia by making it illegal for the next generation or anyone born after 2007 to take a puff in their entire lifetime even after they’ve reached the age of 18 – which is the current legal age of smoking here in Malaysia.
Khairy calls this a “soft landing” approach to bring a gradual end to smoking and plans to get the bill passed by year’s end.
Although the law seems like a good idea, it is getting a lot of pushback from policymakers, medical professionals, industry players, experts in all sorts of fields and, of course, the public.
But if the GEG is seen as such a good plan, why are people saying that the Government might be rushing into its implementation?
Well, there have been several arguments made on why we might need more time to study the proposed prohibition and its effects on the country as a whole.
KUALA LUMPUR (April 4): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said it is too drastic to ban the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and vape products containing nicotine.
“Taking extreme action to ban vaping, e-cigarettes, is quite drastic, and cannot be done in any country in the world. Many people still smoke, even if we hold [several] campaigns,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (April 4).
