00:00 Speaking of the "Era of Prohibition of Smoking",
00:02 we should start with the draft bill
00:04 that was proposed by the former Minister of Health,
00:05 Kelly, in Congress last year,
00:06 "Smoking and Smoking Control Act 2022".
00:09 The purpose of this bill is to prohibit
00:12 Chinese born after 2007
00:14 from using, consuming or owning
00:16 any tobacco or tobacco products,
00:18 including electronic cigarettes.
00:21 The "Era of Prohibition of Smoking"
00:22 is the plan of the previous government.
00:24 The Minister of Health is now in a different position.
00:26 Will the current government continue to implement it?
00:30 Yes, it will.
00:32 The current Minister of Health,
00:32 Charlie Ha, said that
00:33 the Ministry of Health hopes to implement
00:35 the "Era of Prohibition of Smoking" by legislation.
00:38 He also hopes that
00:39 all sectors of society can support
00:40 this year's tobacco bill.
00:41 The Ministry of Health will soon
00:43 propose a pass to Congress.
00:45 In order to achieve this goal,
00:47 the Congressional Health Commission
00:48 also agreed to maintain the "Era of Prohibition of Smoking"
00:51 in the relevant bill.
00:53 However, the committee suggested
00:55 that the original 500-cent fine
00:58 should be reduced to 250 cents.
01:00 They also suggested
01:01 to postpone the implementation of some provisions,
01:03 such as prohibiting people born after 2007
01:06 from smoking and related punishments.
01:08 The committee also mentioned that
01:09 the amendment is a major policy change,
01:13 so it will take a longer time to study.
01:16 In addition, the committee also agreed
01:17 to the Ministry of Health's study of electronic cigarettes
01:20 as one of the suggestions for smoking treatment.
01:23 However, the committee also emphasized
01:25 that the approval of relevant institutions
01:27 must be provided with relevant documents
01:30 such as safety, effectiveness, side effects,
01:32 and related procedures.
01:35 The Ministry of Health has agreed
01:36 to propose to Congress tomorrow
01:39 the "Era of Prohibition of Smoking"
01:40 and the "Second Reading of the Public Health
01:42 of Smoking and Smoking Control Act"
01:43 of 2023.
01:45 However, the chairman of the Committee on Health, Science,
01:47 and Reform, Yu Liwen,
01:49 confirmed in the Congress hall today
01:51 that the Ministry of Health will "speak out"
01:53 to propose the "Second Reading of the Public Health
01:55 of Smoking and Smoking Control Act"
01:56 because it will give way to the government
01:58 to deal with some mistakes.
01:59 However, the Ministry of Health will still
02:01 do its best to propose this bill,
02:03 just "speak out" to propose it.
