Perak gives vape traders until October to comply with sales ban
Summary
The Perak state government has granted vape traders a grace period until October to cease operations following a ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes and vape products. This decision allows traders with valid licenses to clear existing stock and transition out of the business. The ban was initially announced on October 1st of the previous year, with enforcement originally slated to begin on January 1st. Datuk A Sivanesan, chairman of the State Human Resources, Health, Indian Community Affairs and National Integration Committee, emphasized that the leniency should not be exploited and that legal action will be taken against those who violate the ban, citing public health and community safety as the primary concerns.
