KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — A doctors’ group has called for an immediate confiscation of nicotine vapes sold in retail in contravention of the Poisons Act 1952 (Act 366).
The Private Medical Practitioners’ Association of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur (PMPASKL) pointed out that under Act 366, scheduled poisons cannot legally be sold or supplied outside of licensed pharmacies or registered medical clinics.
“Following the minister’s confirmation that nicotine-containing liquids and gels used in vapes are scheduled Group C poisons, PMPASKL strongly urges the Ministry of Health (MOH) to enforce the existing Poisons Act 1952 without delay,” PMPASKL president Dr Carollyn Kek told CodeBlue in a statement yesterday.
