Vape banned in all public universities, says Idris Jusoh

E-cigarettes (vape) and smoking are banned in all 20 public universities in the country, said Higher Education Minister Idris Jusoh.

He said a joint decision on the matter was reached by all the universities' vice-chancellors (VCs) at a meeting on Friday.

"Although some of the VCs had made their own announcements on banning vape within the confines of their campuses, I feel a joint decision is very apt because universities are 'green zones'.

"Before, we only banned smoking of tobacco but now we are extending it to vape as well," he said.

Idris was speaking to reporters after opening the 6th Malaysian Educational Institutions Games at Dewan 2020 in Kangar last night.

Also present were Perlis Menteri Besar Azlan Man, Deputy Higher Education Minister Mary Yap Kain Ching and Community College Education Department director-general Amir Md Noor.
