KUALA LUMPUR: Groups representing e-cigarettes and vape traders have called for the government to set up regulations for the industry, especially on the online sales of vape products to minors.

The Malaysian Vape Chamber of Commerce , Malaysia E-Vaporisers and Tobacco Alternative Association and 16 other vape traders associations said this comes following strict enforcement action by the authorities towards vape and e-cigarette traders.

"We completely understand the enforcement action taken by the authorities, but we regret that such actions were not taken with the same strictness towards traders on e-commerce platforms who do not take the same measures to verify if the buyer is of age," he said in a press conference on Wednesday . "If any of our members were to be found selling their products to minors, their membership will be revoked, and we support any enforcement action taken against these members," he said.
