PETALING JAYA: British American Tobacco Malaysia defended the “mini-cigars” it has introduced in East Malaysia as legitimate tobacco products which comply with health ministry and Royal Malaysian Customs Department laws.
“Dunhill HTL Cigarillo is not a cigarette and is fully compliant with the laws that are related to non-cigarettes. Under this regulation, a cigarette is defined as “any product which consists wholly or partly of cut, shredded or manufactured tobacco, or of any tobacco derivative or substitute, rolled up in a single or more wrapper of paper, and which is capable of being immediately used for smoking”.
“It is encouraging to note that in the last Budget, the government has acknowledged the issue of illegal cigarettes and to date adopted some measures to tackle the issue.
