Can Malaysia Get Tougher on Vaping?
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Malaysia's approach to vaping is back under scrutiny after a High Court ruling overturned the 2023 exemption that removed liquid nicotine from the Poisons List. While the government has appealed the decision, public health advocates argue the case highlights deeper concerns over youth vaping, enforcement gaps, and the balance between regulation and tax revenue. As policymakers weigh legal, health, and economic considerations, does Malaysia need a tougher approach to nicotine products, and what lessons can be drawn from countries that have moved more aggressively to curb youth vaping?
