Speed up regulation of liquid nicotine, says KJ

KUALA LUMPUR: The passing of regulations for nicotine-laced vape liquids must be sped up to prevent more serious public health risks, says former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Noting that it had been a few months since nicotine-laced vape liquids were removed from the Poisons Act list, however, he said that sales of the products were still unregulated. With the delisting, there was no mechanism to regulate liquid nicotine and vapes, he added.
