Malaysian opposition lawmakers (MPs) are stepping up calls to reintroduce liquid nicotine into the 1952 Poisons Act.
Kuala Langat MP Ahmad Yunus Hairi, head of the PN health department, said the lack of regulation on e-cigarettes has led to a surge in the number of teenagers using e-cigarettes or vaping products.
"By excluding liquid nicotine from the Poisons Act, we have inadvertently created a loophole that undermines our efforts to combat vaping among youth.
"Given the health minister's mandate on this matter, I would hope that liquid nicotine can be reinstated in the Poisons Act so that we can have some control over these vaping devices at least until we move on to the smoking product controls of the Public Health Act 2023, ’” Ahmad Yunus said during his debate on the health white paper to be submitted to parliament, CodeBlue reported.
Both the Malaysian Medical Association and the Malaysian Pharmacists Association have previously urged the government to bring liquid nicotine back under the control of the Poisons Act 1952, especially given the uncertainty over the tobacco bill.
The Smoking Products Control Bill, which regulates tobacco and vaping products, remains pending after it was tabled in Malaysia's Lower House immediately after its first reading to the Health Parliament Special Select Committee chaired by former Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad.
That means e-cigarettes and vaping will continue to be legally sold to minors under the age of 18 for at least four months until the House of Commons sits in October.
