Malaysia Enforces Regulation of Nicotine-containing E-cigarette Products
Malaysia's Health Minister, Zaliha, defends the implementation of the Poison Act on e-cigarettes containing nicotine liquid and gel.

According to a report by Headtopics, the Malaysian Health Minister Zaliha stated that the registration of the "Poisons Regulations" on March 31 is a form of regulation specifically targeting electronic e-cigarette products containing nicotine liquid and gel.

 

"I emphasize that the imposition of export taxes on e-cigarette products containing nicotine conforms to Article 6 of the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)," said Zalihah.

 

She added that there was no need to obtain approval from the Poison Board before doing so. Earlier, the Malaysian Examination Council (MKTM), Malaysian Green Lungs Association (MGLA), and Voice of the Children (VOC) had filed a lawsuit in the High Court.
