Emerging tobacco products ban begins

By Xinhua in Singapore | China Daily | Updated: 2015-12-15 08:05

A ban on so-called emerging tobacco products will be phased in beginning on Tuesday, according to a statement from the Ministry of Health on Monday.

The ministry said the ban is being adopted to ensure that such products - those that are relatively new or unusual - do not gain a foothold or become entrenched in the Singapore market, which could stimulate demand for and increase the prevalence of tobacco consumption.

"This is part of the (Health Ministry's) ongoing efforts to protect the public against the known and potential harms of emerging tobacco products," it said.
