Over 60 vape shops in Perak must cease operations by Jan 1 2026

Licensed premises selling electronic cigarettes or vape in Perak must close by January 1, confirmed by State Government Committee chairman Sandrea Ng. No new licences will be issued, and existing ones will be revoked once current stock is sold. This aligns with Perak's policy to ban e-cigarette sales after the deadline. Enforcement is under local authorities, with a grace period until January for traders to adjust. The ban is set for October 1, following a proposal by the Health Department, presented at a State Executive Council meeting on September 22. The government will ensure compliance and support affected businesses in transitioning to other operations.
