“The future of the Malaysian vape industry, which is estimated to be valued at RM2 billion, as well as thousands of young local entrepreneurs and employees is now in the hands of the government as it considers new laws and regulations for the industry,“ he said at a press conference after launching the #vapeterkawal campaign on Saturday.
He said Mevta is agreeable if the government imposes taxes on vape devices or e-liquids, and introduces regulations on advertising vape products online. “They should be caught for selling dangerous e-liquid substance, or low-quality devices, and selling them to those below 18 years old,“ he said.
