GOPENG: Action may be taken against e-­cigarette promoters for selling the devices to schoolchildren, says Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye.

He said the ministry is now working with the Education Ministry to monitor the situation after an incident where primary schoolchildren in Seberang Prai, Penang were allegedly found smoking with the devices last month.
