Regulate vape, e-cigarettes immediately, says Hannah Yeoh
Vape and electronic cigarettes must be regulated immediately through future rules, says Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh. She said this is important not only for athletes but also for the community at large. Yeoh told the Dewan Rakyat that her ministry had gazetted complexes under its purview to be free of cigarette smoking and vaping. “This is in consideration of other existing tobacco control legislations stating that smoking is restricted in stadiums and sports areas,” she said during her ministry’s winding-up speech at the committee level on Tuesday (Nov 21).
20.90% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 5.2 million current smokers in Malaysia 40.80% of men are current smokers but only 0.50% of women.
