Business Chamber of Nedlac signs off Tobacco Bill Report with key reservations

# The Business Chamber of Nedlac has approved the Nedlac report on the Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill but flagged serious reservations. This includes the inclusion of international non-governmental organisations in the government chamber and the unilateral removal of its documented objections. Additionally, the final report includes new positions never discussed during consultations. Business urges Parliament to consider these issues, warning that the Bill appears shaped by external agendas rather than South African realities.
