Selangor to Decide on Vape Sales Ban After State Council Review
The Selangor state government will make a decision regarding a potential ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes (vapes) after the State Executive Council (MMKN) reviews a dedicated working paper on the matter. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari confirmed he has instructed Public Health and Environment Executive Councilor Jamaliah Jamaludin to prepare this paper.
This directive follows an earlier integrated meeting involving the Menteri Besar’s office, the Selangor State Health Department (JKNS), the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, and local authorities. That meeting aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of enforcement, legal aspects, and socio-economic impacts related to vaping.
“I have ordered a paper to be prepared for presentation to the MMKN. We will consider it; the state government’s decision must be made comprehensively, looking at all aspects to ensure the health of current and future generations,” Amirudin Shari stated. This move comes as the state of Terengganu announced it will enforce a ban on vape sales from August 1st.
