00:00Maldives has announced a new directive on 15th of December to stop unpaid personnel.
00:09Is it enough for us to follow this example?
00:13We don't need to follow any country's example.
00:18Although in the early stages of this law, we have taken all the benchmarking
00:25or best practices from all over the world.
00:31But when we have a stand-alone law that regulates or controls
00:40what is called cigarette smoking products and electronic cigarettes and so on,
00:47we have the document and the rules and regulations that we will use
00:58and implement the rules and regulations that I mentioned earlier.
01:04And that will be applied when we implement and enforce the things
01:11that are related to smoking control, both tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
01:21So, don't worry. We will implement all of these.
01:26Some of them we will implement immediately after we have clarified.
01:30And some of them will take approximately 6 to 12 months to be implemented.
01:34Whatever it is, we already have all the rules and regulations to implement
01:40the 2024 Cigarette Smoking Control Act.
01:44We don't have to keep looking at others.
01:47Because for guidance, we have already got ours.
01:50A stand-alone or one that is complete and comprehensive
01:56on issues related to smoking control and vaping.
