Anti-smoking NGO lauds govt's plan to tax vape products

PETALING JAYA: The taxing of all vape products should be in line with public health principles and the risk each type poses to public health, says the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC).

The anti-smoking NGO said that while the proposed excise duty on vape products would be a great first step to tackling the relatively unregulated vape product industry, the actual tariff imposed should not be a one-size fits all blanket tariff but should instead target vape products based on its nicotine content.
