Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health Annual Report: 1987 - 1988
SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE: Sir, in accordance with section 17(6) of the Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health Ordinance, the annual report and accounts of the Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health for the financial year ending 31 March 1988 are laid on the table today.
A statutory body set up in 1987, the council's major functions are to advise the Government on the implementation and development of anti-smoking measures as well as to educate the public on the harmful effects of smoking.
One of the achievements of the council so far has been the formulation of a package of proposed measures designed to strengthen the Government's anti- smoking policy. The council's recommendations cover, among other things, restrictions on smoking in places of entertainment and public transport vehicles, as well as on the sale and advertising of tobacco products. The Government will soon embark on a consultation exercise to solicit the community's views on these recommendations.
Sir, I would like to thank the chairman, members and staff of the Council on Smoking and Health for their efforts in pursuit of the council's objects. I am confident that, with their support, the momentum which we have established in discouraging smoking will be maintained.
