SECOND MEASURE:
Solving and banning the rise of the illicitcigarettes in Malaysia
Authorities should take action againstthe sales of illicit cigarettes.
Many tobacco products purchased atretail outlets do not bear the prescribed
health warnings.

By this, the purchaser of
the cigarettes will easily
obscure the graphic health
warnings and the smokers
will be lack of awareness
about the hazards ofsmoking.
