Star Online Nation "Health Ministry to recommend RM5 for a packet of 20 cigarettes" highlights that the Health Ministry will recommend to the cabinet for a minimum price of RM5 for a pack of 20 cigarettes to curb tobacco companies from selling any of these below that price. Some went as low as RM3.50! The purpose for this minimum price is to discourage young people from smoking. A smoker or not, I feel this RM5 price is still wayyyyyy too minimum. Currently, the more famous brands like Mxxxxxxx and Dxxxxxx are selling for RM7.40...
What do you think? Is the minimal RM5 high enough?
