JOHOR BARU: Firm action has to be taken by the government to completely ban vape usage, distribution and sale to avoid heavily burdening the public healthcare system, says a Johor lawmaker.

Segamat MP R. Yuneswaran highlighted the economic burden on the healthcare system, where the treatment for a single Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (Evali) patient could cost up to RM150,000.
