PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC) is against the planned tax on all vape products before the Tobacco and Smoking Control Bill, or Generational Endgame (GEG) Bill, becomes law.
MCTC, which comprises 70 NGOs, professional bodies and medical associations, said the tax would run counter to the government's intention to create a smoke-free generation of Malaysians by 2040."The vape tax should only be introduced after the GEG Bill is passed in Parliament and all vape products are regulated.
Therefore, MCTC urged the government to reconsider introducing the tax until the GEG Bill is retabled and passed in Parliament."A majority of Cabinet members and MPs including the Opposition are in support of this Bill so there is no excuse not to table it immediately. "MCTC encourages all Malaysians to support the GEG Bill so that it can be passed as soon as possible," it added.
