: The government’s moderate approach of imposing a tax on the sale of vape liquid for electronic cigarettes beginning April 1, is seen as a win-win situation for industry players and in the government’s efforts to control the smoking habit among the people in the country.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the move to introduce a tax is among the moderate approaches to regulate smoking products that contain nicotine and stop the smoking habit among the people in this country. Therefore, he proposed that the government prepare a clear regulatory framework at three levels covering the manufacture of liquids for e-cigarettes, as well as for sales and consumption.
“Existing vape users will continue to buy vape because it has become a habit. Cigarettes have a high tax but smokers are still willing to buy them,“ said the engineer with a private company.
