Tobacco Control Act implementation awaiting Enforcement Committee – official

The implementation and enforcement of the laws and regulations contained in the Tobacco Control Act are now dependent on the establishment of a Tobacco Enforcement Committee.

Stabroek News understands that it is only when the committee has been established and made public that the enforcement of the laws and regulations will commence.

Last December, the Ministry in a press statement explained that several things had to be undertaken before the laws and regulations of the Tobacco Control Act are enforced.
