  "account": "Earlier this year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur revoked the minister's order excluding nicotine vapor and gel from the list of poisons, ruling that the action contravened law due to lack of proper consultation with the Poison Institute. The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has urged Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad to clarify a report that the government is once again considering excluding nicotine vapor from the poisons list. MMA President Dr L Sivanaesan expressed serious concerns over the report, as it appears to be based on a proposal that has been approved by the Poison Institute. If true, he warned, the report raises serious doubts about the government's commitment to protecting public health. The MMA urges the Health Minister to immediately explain this matter and provide health justification for the exclusion proposal.",
