Malaysia considers total vaping ban after reports of US deaths

As of Friday, US authorities had reported 29 deaths and 1,299 cases of respiratory illnesses linked to the use of e-cigarettes and vaporisers, amid calls for stricter regulation.

But it is now considering a complete ban on the new devices, health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad told parliament. Tobacco products in Malaysia are currently regulated under the Food Act while the sale of vaporizer liquids containing nicotine has been banned since 2015.

Have they maybe looked at smoking related deaths in their own country?

THC b gamit nila

1. marketing, they want vapers go back to cig. 2. unkown disease? in this era of med tech? c'mon. 3.THC in black market juice is the real factor. not VAPE 4 because youth is attractive by the flavor juice? all of this is a propaganda, cus tobacco companies will be on the mud.

Gotra wait until the US reports deaths huh..so what about cigarettes? Too much income to lose..so why do deaths matter?

Bago mag ban yung vape isipin nyo sigarilio nyo muna. Kasi mas marami chemical dun kesa sa vape

Wag ka pupunta ng malaysia... hahhaha! KyleElric

Good move Malaysia, .... Philippines! When do you plan to follow what mas

Yung sigarilyo kaya?

sana aa pilipinas din
