KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — After gazetting an excise duty for vape liquids with nicotine content, the Ministry of Health will table a new law to regulate nicotine use which will include the Generation End Game policy.
Dr Zaliha said her ministry had conducted an engagement session regarding the policies that have been set under this new Bill. “MoH will continue implementing smoking prevention programmes and smoking cessation interventions in schools and institutions of higher learning through collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, the Foundation Graduate Volunteers, Malaysian Youth Council and related non-governmental bodies,” she said.
“Following the exemption, liquid or gel preparations containing nicotine for the purpose of smoking using electronic cigarettes or electronic vaporisation devices are now an excise duty item and are controlled under the Excise Act 1976 .
