KUALA LUMPUR: Following the emergence of new vape-like nasal inhalers called “energy sticks” that are targeted at children, the Health Ministry is planning to take immediate action over the issue.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said they became aware of the potential sale of the device after receiving multiple complaints and alerts through social media.
