PARLIAMENT In his plea to Health Ministry to stop banning and outlets selling vapes, PKR’s Alor Setar MP Gooi Hsiao Leung told Dewan Rakyat that the e-cigarette helped him to give up smoking cigarettes.
"I was a smoker for more than 20 years. I tried many ways to stop smoking, but to no avail… until I tried vaping three weeks ago. In three weeks time, I quit both smoking and vaping," Gooi said.
"Based on research and from my own experience, I believe vaping can help smokers cope with their nicotine withdrawal syndrome," he said during the debate on 2016 Budget debate yesterday.
