Selangor mulls over vape ban

SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government will discuss whether to propose a ban on vaping in the state after Johor and Kelantan.   

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said a workshop would be held early next year to study and discuss the health implications of vaping.   

''The workshop ‎will involve the Health Ministry, youth groups and several non-governmental organisations to look into the health implications of vaping.   

''We will look at the ‎conclusions from the workshop before deciding on anything,'' he said when met after chairing the weekly Selangor Economic Action Council meeting here Thursday.   

He noted that the state did not want to implement any drastic measures ‎without getting feedback from professionals.  

''We want to hear them out first because the people’s health ‎have to be prioritised. We also do not want any social implications if this matter is not handled properly,'' Azmin added.   

State Health Exco Dr Daroyah Alwi would be in charged of organising the workshop.
