Cambodian PM reiterates ban on investment in e-cigarette production

Cambodian PM Hun Manet stated that e-cigarette production won't be allowed in Cambodia due to health concerns, reaffirming the ban on e-cigarettes and shisha since 2014. The government focuses on preventing illegal tobacco product imports, raising awareness of smoking's health risks. The Ministry of Health warns about e-cigarettes' nicotine content, leading to severe health issues like lung disease and cancer. The PM's decision comes after reports of illegal e-cigarette sales despite the existing ban. Hun Manet's stance aims to protect the public from harmful effects associated with smoking and vaping.
