The Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) Committee of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), the Ministry of Health Malaysia, the Public Health Society-MMA, Universiti Putra Malaysia, the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control and the National Cancer Society Malaysia are organising the Towards a Smoke-Free Generation- Poster Competition.
The objective of the competition is to help create a generation who do not smoke tobacco, smoke e-cigarette and vape. We encourage participants of the Towards a Smoke-Free Generation- Poster Competition to submit as many posters as they like. The posters should encourage individuals who smoke to quit smoking and encourage the individual who use vape or e-cigarette to quit. The video should increase the awareness of the public on the hazards of the use of tobacco, vape and e-cigarette and promote a smoke-free generation.
The Towards a Smoke-Free Generation – Poster Competition will run from 31 May 2021 – 30 April 2022 and it is open to all Malaysian. There will be three categories of entries and prizes: Primary School Student Category, Secondary School Student Category, and for the General Public.
