Vape tax a win-win situation for industry players, will help curb smoking habit among Malaysians

KUALA LUMPUR: The government's moderate approach of imposing a tax on the sale of vape liquids for ecigarettes beginning April 1 is seen as a win-win situation for industry players and in the government's efforts to control the smoking habit among the people in the country.

Malaysia Retail Electronic Cigarette Association (MRECA) president Datuk Adzwan Manas said the approach was appropriate given the vape industry had been developed by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and local entrepreneurs.
