KKM akan jelaskan keputusan tarik balik rayuan kes vape nikotin
Mahkamah Tinggi sebelum ini memutuskan keputusan kerajaan mengecualikan nikotin cecair dalam vape dan rokok elektronik daripada senarai racun sebagai tidak rasional.
Dzulkefly Ahmad stated the government will clarify the decision to withdraw the petition concerning the exclusion of nicotine vape liquid from the list of toxic substances, which involves legal implications and grounds. The Health Minister clarified that the government has submitted a memorandum to the Cabinet regarding its decision, addressing legal and foundational implications.
He emphasized the need for a media briefing to avoid misunderstandings, inaccurate responses, or incorrect reporting. The withdrawal of the petition is not an indication that the government will cease monitoring vape products; rather, the 2024 Public Health (Control of Tobacco Products) Act (Act 852) will continue to protect minors and public health.
The government's approach to regulating vape products, including the proposal for open-system vape products, will be discussed in the upcoming meeting of Asean Health Ministers. The ministry is also considering measures to reduce people's exposure to vaping, such as limiting extracurricular activities and moving them indoors if necessary.
