The government will present to the Legislative Assembly a bill to ban smoking in casinos, increase taxes on tobacco products and prohibit the sale of electronic cigarettes, officials have said.

“Predictions tell us that the economy will be hit by these measures,” Health Bureau director Lei Chin Ion told a press conference.

“But there are different predictions. We are concerned with public health – and without health there is no economy at all.”
