Admist of the prata flipping ... i learnt that:
"...second buggest globally after US.."
"RM 500 million industry.."
"1 million vapors in Malaysia"
Wow. Didn't know our neighbour is getting so good at this!
When I first got wind yesterday, I was really worried and disappointed. It is really strange, banning something that "may or may not be harmful" but continue to permit selling something "that WILL definitely kill you", that logic really eludes me....
Big tobacco has got lobbyists with very very very deep pockets.....
Yeah, unfortunately that's always the case...the ones with the deep pockets always have to protect their own interests by all means...
And the ones on the ground enforcing are the ones who dunno anything and won't ever get to smell a single cent.... Only get cussed and cursed at... Good job!

What I seem to gather for now is that our neighbours have pretty much, like TS said, to be flipping prata quite abit. They're backtracking on their plans to blanket ban, rather discussions are on to regulate and all. Not exactly the best news, but hell I'll take it. So no worries folks, at least for the time being.

Anyway even if they make it illegal, enforcing it is another thing..
In boleh land..semua boleh..
In boleh land..semua boleh..
regulate, regulate the batteries and the chargers lah.... or the mods, mods must have inbuilt protection etc.... so far the only danger comes from batteries exploding.....
as for infusing drugs... its pretty much the same as infusing drugs with cigarettes etc... regulation on infusing drugs with vaping should be dealt with the same way....
i mean, it would be damn obvious lah if a fella is high regardless of the medium.....

Health Ministry concerned about growing trend of vaping, especially among the young
MALACCA • There are some 1,000 shops and outlets serving Malaysia's growing group of vapers, or users of electronic cigarette vaporisers, with more than 400 local brands and nicotine-infused liquids.
Users claim vaping helps them to quit smoking actual cigarettes, but the Malaysian Health Ministry said they often end up doing both.
Health Minister S. Subramaniam is now working to have vaping banned in Malaysia, or at least stringently regulated. E-cigarettes are banned in Singapore.
Datuk Seri Subramaniam said the ministry is studying the models used in countries that have banned it and those which had imposed strict rules, to adopt the best practices for legislation.
"We have not made a definite decision yet. The options we are considering range from very strict regulation to a total ban. We are looking at existing laws under the ministry and the laws of other ministries on the best approach to take," he said.
The ministry has been concerned about the growing trend of vaping among Malaysians, especially those below 18. With more than a million vapers, it has grown to be a RM500 million (S$162.7 million) industry. Malaysia has the biggest number of users in Asia and, worldwide, is second only to the United States, officials have said.
"We are now working out a few legal premises. We will choose the most appropriate Act that will give us the power to do it," he said. "If it were up to me, I will ban it as soon as possible. I feel we have to put a stop to this before it becomes a big issue."
Dr Subramaniam said the ministry was compiling results of studies on the health risks of vaping and its effects on passive vapers and other information.
He said regulations could also include barring the use of vapers in restaurants and other public areas.
A vaper and the co-owner of Vape Street, Mr Yazuan Yatim, said he sells RM2,000 (S$650) a day of various vape flavours and e-cigarettes since opening two months ago.
"My customers are mostly working adults and most are trying to stop smoking. They buy a few bottles and they can last them for a month," he said.
Said vaper Nancy Nais, 33, a corporate manager: "If they want to ban vaping because it is harmful, they should also ban cigarettes. They might as well legalise vaping and tax customers," she said.
