BAT: Consult industry on e-cigarette laws

KUALA LUMPUR: British American Tobacco (M) Bhd (BAT) hopes that the government will consult with the industry players on the move to introduce new laws to regulate e-cigarettes, or also known as vape.

Managing director Erik Stoel said the company strongly supported the move to introduce new laws to regulate e-cigarettes, and the industry should be consulted to ensure robust quality and safety standards requirements were considered, such as those set by the British Standards Institution on e-cigarettes and e-liquids.
