Tough new smoking laws soon?

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Yes, totally coincidentally he gave up smoking last September. Anyway - the pregnant women thing is ridiculous, pretty much zero women smoke here anyway.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I agree completely. Luckily it probably won't be enforced, but seriously what a condescending aspect to the bill.

The part about banning sales to children is a long time coming though.

How will they enforce this?
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

From yesterday all cigarette packets are legally required to display graphic health warnings of rotting lungs and suffocating babies...

The warnings – displaying grisly charcoal-coloured lungs and an infant with severe breathing problems – will be required on cigarette packets from Saturday, but packs not sporting the images will continue to be seen on the shelves as vendors exhaust their old stock.
