Amid growing concern over the rapid rise of vaping particularly among the young, and the controversy over its effect on health, Malaysia is set to a game-changing law to ban smoking and vaping for an entire generation, those born from 2007. Currently, the vape industry operates in a legal grey area in the country. While vaping is not regulated, the sale of e-liquids containing nicotine – while commonplace – is technically illegal. And several states including Johor have the sale of vaping products. E-liquids are a component of e-vaporisers, also known as vapes or e-cigarettes. The liquids often contain nicotine and, when heated, turn into vapor that is by users. Vapes are by advocates as a smoking cessation tool. Oh for instance, said: “We are not claiming vapes as a 100-per-cent healthy product. We are selling vape as harm reduction compared to smoking.”
