PETALING JAYA: The Finance Ministry must allocate half of the revenue collected from taxes on nicotine and non-nicotine vape liquids to the Health Ministry to support public health initiatives aimed at combating the rising use of e-cigarettes among youth, says Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance , based in Bangkok.

The Act aims to ban the sale and purchase of tobacco products, smoking materials and tobacco substitutes, including vape products, to minors. While this figure is modest compared to an industry valued at RM3.5bil, allocating at least RM70mil from this tax revenue to the Health Ministry could fund effective interventions to prevent and control the use of recreational nicotine products.
