CAP urges govt to reject vape industry memorandum

The Consumers' Association of Penang (CAP) has urged the government to firmly reject a memorandum from five associations, urging amendments to the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024 (Act 852) in favour of the vape industry. The five associations represented over 2,000 vape traders. CAP president Mohideen Abdul Kader said while the vape industry claimed to be a significant revenue generator, this assertion paled in comparison to the enormous medical costs shouldered by taxpayers.
