Government should ban vaping and e-cigarettes


THE Malaysia Consumers Movement (MCM) welcomes the Health Ministry’s consistent stand in recommending a ban on vape and e-cigarettes while commending the recent decree by His Royal Highness The Sultan of Johor to ban vaping in Johor beginning Dec 1, citing hazardous health effects on young people. Vaping is fast gaining a strong foothold largely among youth.

It is sad when stakeholders misleadingly promote it as a legitimate alternative to smoking cigarettes, a claim which lacks proof.
