Liberal Party lawmakers Michael Lee and Peter Shiu are pushing to lift ban on flavoured cigarettes and apply ‘positive vetting’ process
Two Hong Kong lawmakers representing the business sector have made a last-ditch effort to delay and partially lift the implementation of the government’s tobacco control measures by moving amendments to a bill set to be discussed on Wednesday at the earliest.
The amendments by lawmakers Michael Lee Chun-keung and Peter Shiu Ka-fai, both from the pro-business Liberal Party, included a call for the government to lift a proposed ban on selling flavoured conventional smoking products.
They also suggested the government implement the proposed tobacco control measures through “positive vetting”, a process in which lawmakers review changes before they come into effect, instead of the other way round.
