MMA Urges Health Minister to Explain Proposal to Exempt Liquid Nicotine from Poisons List
Published
The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has urged the government to reaffirm its commitment to a nationwide ban on vaping. This call was made following reports on a proposal to exempt liquid nicotine from the Poisons List.
Liquid nicotine is the substance used in vape liquids. The Poisons List is a list of substances controlled under poisons legislation in Malaysia. If a substance is exempted from this list, it is no longer subject to the same controls. Therefore, the MMA wants the Health Minister to provide a clear explanation on this matter.
The MMA believes that accurate information is very important for the public, especially parents and young people, as vaping is becoming increasingly widespread. The association asks the government to ensure that its policies on vaping remain consistent and do not confuse the public.
So far, further reports on the government's final decision regarding the proposal have not been obtained. The public is advised to keep following official statements from the Ministry of Health for the latest information.
