WITH the country’s budget to be tabled next month, there is one aspect I wish for the government to look at seriously: e-cigarettes and alternate devices. Some are talking about a ban on the product due to what is happening in the United States – but that would be an insult to logical thinking, and, at best, a knee-jerk reaction.
Primarily, we have had vaping in Malaysia for the past five or six years. In the last year, Malaysia finally allowed the “heat not burn” device to come into the market. Meanwhile, Britain has gone so far as to promote vaping as an alternative to traditional cigarette smoking.
