Its president, Datuk Irmohizam Ibrahim said guidelines or a law on vaping should be introduced so that it would not be become an element that could contribute to social problems, including drug abuse.
“There is good in vaping as it helps to reduce the number of cigarette smokers, but the fear is that some people may blend it with synthetic drugs,” he told reporters when asked to comment on the government’s decision not to ban the use of vape after the opening of the Commonwealth Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs – Asia (CAYE-Asia) here Sunday.
