Malaysian vape Chamber of Commerce recommends that vape should be regulated rather than banned
The Malaysian vape Chamber of Commerce (MVCC), the national vape association representing the Malaysian vape industry, has questioned the motivation of NGOs to call for an vape ban, as they apply double standards for cigarettes and vape, according to local media reports in Malaysia. method.
Non-governmental organizations have called for a ban on vape, suggesting that they are applying a double standard approach to cigarettes and vape, although it turns out that cigarettes are more harmful to health.
Malaysian health NGOs are not honest about this, especially when they ignore independent statements and research by international cancer NGOs, such as British Cancer Research, British Smoking and Health Initiative, British Tobacco and Alcohol Research Centre, Royal British Internal Medicine The Medical Association of the College of Physicians fully supports the conversion of vape as a less harmful product for smokers.
Even British, Canadian and New Zealand health authorities have expressed the same view, encouraging smokers to switch to vape, which has proven to be a less harmful alternative.
We note that NGOs are concerned about the use of vape among people under the age of 18, as well as recent cases of drug abuse in the United States due to drug use.
That is why regulations must be introduced to ensure that controls are in place to prevent children from accessing the product, and that products must be regulated to standards to ensure that no harmful substances (such as drugs) can be used.
There are more than 5,000 vape and e-liquid manufacturers in Malaysia, of which 5,000 to 25,000 workers meet the needs of 1 to 1.2 million vape users in Malaysia.
Banning the use of vape will affect the livelihoods of the industry and industry workers. Most importantly, when consumers have the right to use a regulated product, Malaysian vape users will be forced to use the product illegally.
