Earlier, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad explained that the gazetting of Act 852 was part of the ministry's efforts to curb the use of tobacco products and reduce harm caused by smoking and other tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes or vape, reported Berita Harian. However, representatives from the vape industry argue that the new rules have been implemented without proper consultation or sufficient preparation time, reported Malay Mail.
"No country has ever enforced such stringent rules for vape products. We agree to a gradual reduction every two years instead of drastically reducing it to 15ml," said Adzwan.
