Gerald Giam ơn Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) (Amendment) and Other Matters Bill
Beyond residential smoking issues, Singapore must also move beyond managing the prevalence of smoking and start legislating for its eventual elimination for future generations. Speaking in parliament on Friday (Mar 6) in support of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) (Amendment) and Other Matters Bill, Mr Giam reiterated his call for a cohort tobacco ban, which would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to, or from anyone born after a specific year, emphasising that this will not further restrict the smoking rights of existing smokers. He also expressed hope for the government to address the harm of secondhand smoking on the move, even in non-prohibited outdoor areas.
