Malaysia's Move organization pushes to exclude e-cigarettes from GEG policy
Malaysia's e-cigarette organization pushes to exclude their products from the GEG policy, claiming they can help smokers quit.

Samsul Kamal Arifin Mohd Basir, the chairman of a physical organization for electronic cigarettes in Malaysia, has stated that electronic cigarettes are used by those trying to quit smoking and are considered safer according to scientific research. This information was reported in a photo archive by Malaysia Insight on August 8th, 2022.


Electronic cigarette vendors are urging the government to exempt their tools (e-cigarettes) and products from proposed laws aimed at ending smoking in the Generation Endgame (GEG) policy.


The organization representing sellers, Move - a physical entity for electronic cigarettes in Malaysia, is advocating for exemption because they believe their products and devices can actually assist smokers in quitting.
