KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — The Malaysian Pharmacists Society called on the Ministry of Health to conduct nationwide checks and raids on sales of nicotine products by those who are not licensed under the Malaysian Poisons Act 1952, especially vape retailers.
"Vape outlets do not employ pharmacists or doctors for that matter. While the delay would see the GEG bill return to a newly appointed Parliament Select Committee to further improve the bill, there is no reason for the Health Ministry to not conduct checks and raids on vape outlets. Last week, the Malaysia E-Vaporisers & Tobacco Alternative Association pledged its support behind the Health Ministry’s proposed law to prohibit the sale of tobacco, electronic cigarettes and vaporisers to Malaysians born after 2005, saying it would work with the ministry.
Together with the Malaysia Retail Electronic Cigarette Association, Mevta said the government should develop a regulatory framework for the vape industry, which has been repeatedly delayed, and which would classify them differently from tobacco products.
