According to The Star's report on July 13th, Malaysia is expected to soon implement specific regulations and orders banning the sale of e-cigarettes or e-cigarette products (including the sale of e-cigarettes through vending machines).
The Minister of Health, Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, stated that the Attorney General's Office is currently in the final stages of studying the regulations regarding the ban, before giving approval.
We will monitor this issue nationwide (of e-cigarettes being sold through vending machines) to ensure that it does not happen again before we implement regulations and orders. These regulations and orders are currently in the final stages at the Office of the Attorney General.
If God is willing, we will continue to implement these regulations and orders once approved by the Attorney General's Office.
