KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 — Local e-cigarette and vape industry stakeholders have today lauded the federal government’s move to better regulate and exempt nicotine as a controlled substance under the law ahead of new taxation against vape products.
“This is important as it will then see controls in place instead of allowing the products to remain unregulated,” MRECA president Datuk Adzwan Ab Manas said in a statement. In the same statement, Malaysian Vape Industry Advocacy president Rizani Zakaria said the latest move would benefit consumers as sold products and their contents will now be controlled and safe for consumption with regulations in place.
“We have been in the dark since that announcement with no discussions nor consultation held with the ministry. And the news about the potential exemption on nicotine for vape liquid should be discussed with industry players instead of it being communicated to the health NGOs. Yesterday, two associations representing healthcare professionals in Malaysia voiced their opposition to the government’s move to exempt nicotine as a controlled substance under the law ahead of new taxation against vape products.
