DELAY in introducing a Bill to regulate vape nicotine products was due to the need to scrutinise several provisions following adverse feedback from MPs, says the Prime Minister.
Anwar hopes the proposed Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023 will be tabled in the coming Parliament sitting in May.
Anwar was responding to Datuk Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi who asked about the government’s decision to delist nicotine products from the Poisons Act.Elaborating further, Anwar said banning vape products outright would be too extreme.
