No need to follow others as our smoking control laws strong enough, says Dzulkefly


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.

Asked if the country should emulate the Maldives by banning vaping, the Health Minister said we should instead focus on the implementation and enforcement of the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024.
