Malaysia E-Vaporizers and Tobacco Alternative Association president Rizani Zakaria said the move would provide the local vape industry a clearer direction in moving forward.
DPVM president Syed Azaudin Syed Ahmad urged the government to pay closer attention to the vape industry that has been awaiting the introduction of regulations since 2015. A study conducted by Public Health England, a health agency in the United Kingdom, found that vaping is 95 per cent less harmful than smoking tobacco cigarettes.
#vapeterkawal or #vapecontrol is a call to bring all stakeholders of the vape industry together and urge the government to introduce regulations in relation to the sale and use of nicotine vape in Malaysia.
