PETALING JAYA: The authorities, especially school administrators, should clamp down on vaping among students, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye .
"We also call on the government to take a serious view of uncontrolled vaping, especially among students," he said in a statement on Sunday .Lee said vaping and vape-related issues are causes of concern for parents, teachers and the education authorities."In a recent case, six students in a secondary school in Selangor were found vomiting after inhaling vape that they shared.
It is an acknowledged fact that vaping poses significant health risks, especially to young, developing bodies, he added."Vaping can lead to the use of traditional tobacco products, perpetuating the cycle of addiction. School authorities and students could supplement the ministry's efforts in several ways, including empowering students to take a stand against vaping by implementing peer-to-peer programmes, encouraging students who quit vaping to share their stories and experiences with their peers, Lee said."They could also collaborate with celebrities and social media influencers to spread anti-vaping messages by relating their personal inspirational stories.
