Govt to table ‘new’ bill to control nicotine in vape, says Zaliha

This comes after nicotine liquids and gels used in vape were exempted from the Poisons Act yesterday, causing much controversy. Zaliha did not specify if this “new” bill is the Control of Tobacco Products and Smoking Bill 2022 that was tabled in the last Parliament session.In February, the health ministry said it aimed to retable the bill in the near future so that its enforcement can begin next year.

In a gazette notice published yesterday, the health ministry said exemption from poisons control had been granted for nicotine liquids and gels, used in e-cigarettes and vaping products. Noting that the health ministry is aware of the negative feedback regarding the move, she said the exclusion of nicotine liquids and gels from the Poisons List under the Poisons Act – in an amendment that she gazetted yesterday – was in line with the government’s decision to tax such products.
