Abstract
Vape, also known as electronic cigarettes, have become very popular globally especially among young people. In some countries vaping has been encouraged even by the health authorities and regarded as less harmful than conventional cigarettes; hence recommended to cigarette smokers for quitting. However, such view is not universally accepted. Emerging studies demonstrated negative consequences of vaping. In Malaysia there is lacuna in law regarding sale and purchase of vape. Subsequently, no protection is afforded to people against the negative impact of vaping. To determine whether there should be regulations on vape we need to examine the positive and negative aspects of vaping based on medical and scientific studies. This paper will provide evidence, views and arguments from those who promote, and support vape versus those who are against, followed by legal study on sale of vape in Malaysia focusing on consumer protection. Policy, law and experience of selected countries on vape issues are also included as it will give inputs for the authority of this country to formulate its own stand on this matter.
