The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is actively monitoring online sales of vaping or electronic cigarettes. This measure aims to ensure compliance with regulations and control the spread of these products, especially among underage users.
How can MCMC do this?
For your information, monitoring is carried out through various digital platforms to identify any illegal sales activities. MCMC is also working with relevant parties to take appropriate action against individuals or entities conducting illegal sales.
Additionally, the authorities stressed that strict action will be taken against individuals found to be violating the regulations. This is also in line with the government's efforts to regulate the use of vaping and electronic cigarettes and ensure consumer safety.
What is the ruling on vaping?
The Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) previously also reminded that the ruling on the use of vaping is haram. This is because the 'illah (reason for determining the law) is harmful and involves waste.
In addition, the use of shisha and shisha sticks is also categorised as haram because it can cause harm to the human body.
