Malaysian Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin wants to ban smoking and develop a smoking restriction plan for the next generation of Malaysians, according to foreign reports. The plan comes after New Zealand announced it would ban the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 2008.

Jamaluddin plans to introduce the new Tobacco and Smoking Control Bill, which will replace the current tobacco product control legislation under the Food Act 1983, at the upcoming parliamentary session from February 28 to March 24.

The bill will also regulate e-cigarettes and vaping products, according to Jamaluddin, who called the bill "the end of a generation."

Jamaluddin said: "Our healthcare system has been suffering from healthcare problems caused by smoking for a long time. This grant will enable smoking to be phased out in stages until one day in the future Malaysia will be a smoke-free country."

Jamaluddin has yet to specify a date for the proposed legislation, nor a cut-off year of birth to ban smoking.
