Vape industry urges govt to implement long-delayed vape regulations

KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 — Instead of banning vape products wholesale, vape industry players are urging the government to implement long-delayed regulations for the industry.

Ironically, this delay has not only left the industry in limbo but has resulted in the government listing more than RM750 million a year in tax revenue. “Furthermore, the MoH’s proposal to ban the sale of vape along with cigarettes, although the two products are different, is akin to declaring war on the local vape industry especially for the 3,000 local entrepreneurs and 15,000 employees in the industry,” he added.He said the ban is unfair as vape and cigarettes are two very different products.saying international studies show vaping is less harmful and can be used to help cigarette smokers quit smoking.
