What's the buzz? Gauteng residents have had their say this past weekend on the highly controversial draft Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill when Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Health held three public hearings in the province. Limpopo, the North West, and Mpumulanga have also had the hearings. The bill seeks to drastically shake up the South African smoking scene where (according to the South African Medical Research Council) around 29.4% of the adult population is currently using tobacco products. The proposed Bill means a restriction on the sale and use of both nicotine and non-nicotine-containing products, such as vapes, in public places, and people’s homes and cars.
