MyWatch Urges Government Not to Repeat 2023 Nicotine Vape Decision
Published
The MyWatch organisation has warned the Madani government not to resume efforts to exempt nicotine vapes from the Poisons List. According to the group, if a decision like the one in 2023 is repeated, it could have negative effects on society, especially young people.
The Poisons List is a list of substances regulated under Malaysian law because of their danger to health. If nicotine vapes are exempted from this list, the products will not be fully subject to the strict rules that apply to other poisonous substances. This issue has long been a subject of discussion among stakeholders, including health bodies and advocacy groups.
MyWatch uses the term "nicotine betrayal" to refer to the 2023 decision. The organisation argues that any new effort to loosen these controls should be carefully examined before any action is taken. They stress that public health protection must be prioritised.
So far, this article does not state any new official decision from the government regarding the matter. Discussion on nicotine vapes and the Poisons List is expected to remain a focus of public attention, and the public can follow further developments through verified news reports.
