MPs, senators should be role models by quitting smoking: Lukanisman

Deputy health minister pointed out that many legislators are heavy smokers, as rate of smoking among youth is increasing

KUALA LUMPUR – MPs and senators are advised to be role models as part of the government’s efforts to eliminate smoking in society.

Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni said this was important and in line with their position as members of the highest legislative body in the country.

He said the matter should be given attention by the Dewan Negara (Senate) and the Dewan Rakyat (Parliament) as many of their members are heavy smokers.

“Enforcement of the law (Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023) should be taken seriously,” he said and suggested Dewan Negara president Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar advise smokers among senators and parliamentary members to quit the habit.

Lukanisman said this during the question and answer session in the Dewan Negara when responding to a supplementary question from Senator Dr Wan Martina Wan Yusoff, who wanted to know if measures taken by the government to ensure enforcement of the law can curb the increase in smoking among the young generation. – December 13, 2023
