• Witco ready for smoking ban 

THE West Indian Tobacco Company (WITCO) yesterday said its business would not be adversely affected by new legislation coming to Parliament in April which could lead to a ban on smoking in public places. While stating that WITCO has no idea about the details of this legislation, managing director Jean-Pierre Du Coudray said WITCO will continue to work with Government to ensure that the rights of smokers and non-smokers are equally respected.

On Wednesday, Health Minister John Rahael again hinted that Government will bring new tobacco laws to Parliament next month.
