KUALA LUMPUR: The government has agreed that the unrecorded leave for Deepavali, which falls on Nov 13 (Monday), will be brought to Nov 14 (Tuesday) for Hindu civil servants in states that observe Sunday as their weekend rest day.
PETALING JAYA: Puffing up is becoming a way of life even for schoolchildren, thanks to easy access to vape products with nicotine and ecigarettes, as well as a loophole allowing the legal sale of these products to minors, say various groups.
Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control secretary-general Muhammad Sha’ani Abdullah said the use of vape among young adults and teens has been exploding due to targeted marketing to younger cohorts by the industry. He added that the Generational Endgame provision in the Bill, which seeks to ban tobacco and vape products for anyone born from Jan 1, 2007, onwards is essential as measures implemented have not achieved the expected reduction in smoking.
Malaysia Society for Harm Reduction president Dr Sharifa Ezat Wan Puteh said the current absence of regulations for vape products is painting Malaysia in a bad light as if it is being promoted to everyone.
