00:00A pro-vaping group claims that any type of ban on vape sales will push consumers to the black market.
00:09The Malaysian Vape Chamber of Commerce said it opposed prohibitionist policies like a ban on vape sales or the generational endgame bill, as these are likely to be ineffective.
00:20MVCC Secretary General Ridwan Rosli said such measures do not eliminate demand but merely drive it underground, fueling the black market and exposing consumers to unregulated and potentially harmful products.
00:35Ridwan said such bans would also jeopardize the livelihood of legitimate industry players and deprive the government of valuable tax revenue.
00:43He urged policymakers to focus on regulated and controlled solutions that balance consumer safety, industry sustainability and economic contribution.
00:55Consumer Choice Center Malaysia Associate Tarmezi Anwar said regulations should reflect the growing body of scientific evidence showing that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking.
01:06Tarmezi added that policies must support access to safer alternatives for current smokers rather than limiting them.
