In case you missed it | Tobacco industry opposes laws to curb smoking

The government is under pressure to scrap its proposed new tobacco laws meant to curb smoking, among other goals.

The health department says stricter tobacco laws will reduce tobacco use and prevent millions of people dying from tobacco-related illnesses such as heart attacks and strokes. The World Health Organisation has backed stricter tobacco laws in SA saying they are consistent with the country’s obligations under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and bring SA back to the forefront of international tobacco control best practice.

Victory interviewed 1,114 South African adults in all main local languages, from November 14-27 2018. The survey was regionally and demographically representative of SA’s population.
