No need to ban vape like Maldives, says Health Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has comprehensive regulations on smoking and tobacco control and does not need to follow other countries in banning vape and its products, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

When asked if the country should follow the Maldives, which has banned vape, the Health Minister said Malaysia should instead focus on the implementation and enforcement of the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024 (Act 852).
