NUSAJAYA, Dec 4 – All local authorities will receive a circular on the ban of vaping products in Johor this week. Johor Housing and Local Government Committee chairman, Datuk Abd Latif Bandi said the circular was discussed and agreed on at a state executive council meeting yesterday.
“The circular states that from Jan 1, next year vaping is banned in all business premises in Johor. The state government affirmed the decree on the ban of vaping products by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, on Nov 29,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
