Kuah Boon Theng on Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) (Amendment) and Other Matters Bill
It is hard enough for adults to quit addictions, let alone children and youths, said NMP Kuah Boon Theng. She asked if fines, warnings or counselling will be enough to help students kick a vaping habit and whether schools will be left to navigate the issue. She proposed that the Ministry of Health assemble a team of specialists to establish a national protocol or programme, providing clear guidance to schools and parents in supporting youths to break addictions - from vaping to gaming and pornography. In parliament on Friday (Mar 6), Ms Kuah also asked what other steps will be taken to ensure recidivism among young vape users stays low.
