Put nicotine back on Poisons List, CAP urges govt

Claiming that vape products are still easily accessible, CAP senior education officer NV Subbarow said it was disappointing to note the lack of regulation and enforcement against children's access to vape products despite the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023 coming into effect in November.
