Having vape tax without tobacco control law could be disastrous, says NGO grouping

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC) is against the planned tax on all vape products before the Tobacco and Smoking Control Bill, or Generational Endgame (GEG) Bill, becomes law.

MCTC, which comprises 70 NGOs, professional bodies and medical associations, said the tax would run counter to the government's intention to create a smoke-free generation of Malaysians by 2040.
