KOTA KINABALU: Authorities in Sabah have initiated action against sellers of vape-like candies named “ghost smoke” in Sabah amid growing concern by parents over the controversial sweets.

On Monday, the Sabah Health Department confiscated some 700 of the candies in towns across Sabah for labelling offences under the Food Act 1983. The packaging on the sweets lacked information explaining the product contents or its additives, which is an offence under the Act.
