Vape ban: Govt anticipating legal backlash from industry
Editor’s note: This article has been amended to better reflect the minister’s comments.

PARLIAMENT | The government is anticipating legal challenges as it moves ahead with plans to ban e-cigarette and vape products, according to Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad.

Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, he said this is because the move to regulate such products has created a “legitimate expectation” from the vape industry, and it needs to be prepared for legal action if the products are suddenly banned.
