Stricter controls better than total ban on vape products, says expert

Deputy inspector Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay revealed students as young as 13 using drug-laced vape. Public health expert Dr. Sharifa Ezat Wan Puteh suggests controlling high-risk vape products instead of banning them. She advocates for regulations allowing safer options for smokers. Dr. Lee Boon Chye emphasizes reducing youth appeal towards vapes by limiting nicotine and removing fruity flavors. Both experts agree banning vapes is not the ideal solution. They propose regulating vape liquid content and tightening import controls to tackle the issue effectively.
