KUALA LUMPUR, April 5 — Local e-cigarette and vape industry stakeholders today lauded the federal government’s decision and measures taken to introduce laws in regulating vape in the country.
Last week the Government exempted nicotine-containing vape liquid from the Poisons Act and introduced a tax on the product. “The bill still needs details and discussions with various parties including industry as stated by the Prime Minister yesterday. If it can be tabled and passed in the next session of Parliament, the new bill will only be available at the earliest in August while the relevant regulations will only be introduced by the end of the year. As an interim measure, the industry is proposing that existing regulations such as PPKHT be amended to initiate regulation of the vape industry.
“Since the Unity Government was formed, the vape industry has not had the opportunity to discuss with the Ministry of Health Malaysia on regulatory matters.
