Strict laws for Malaysia

Dr Abdul Razak: ‘We can’t have people selling e-cigs over the counter like cosmetics'.

E-CIGARETTES should be strictly regulated as a pharmaceutical product in Malaysia.

That’s the recommendation of the Health Ministry’s technical committee tasked with studying the health effects of e-cigs and shisha smoking, reveals its chairman, senior consultant chest physician Prof Datuk Dr Abdul Razak Muttalif, a former director of the Kuala Lumpur Hospital Institute of Respiratory Medicine.
