KUALA LUMPUR: The cost of treating e-cigarette or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (Evali) cases is higher than the revenue collected from excise duty from smoking products, says the Health Ministry.
Just in the span of 11 months since the enforcement of the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act, on Oct 1, 2024, and September this year, the ministry saw six cases of serious lung complications identified as Evali.
