Shopify API - 29 March 2021

Hello Bigboss!! How are you today? Hope you're always healthy, your sustenance is smooth, and all your activities are made easy!!

In this article, we will share information about a recent survey on vaping that shows most Malaysians want the government to take more action to regulate the industry in the country.

The Malaysian Vaping Insight & Perspectives Survey, commissioned by the Malaysian Vape Industry Advocacy (MVIA), also showed that 76 percent of those surveyed believed the country's economy would benefit from such regulations.

"The poll shows that most Malaysians want regulations on vape products. Official reports from the Ministry of Health indicate that there are over one million vapers in Malaysia, yet there are no regulations in place, leaving consumers with no choice but to use unregulated products," said Rizani Zakaria, president of MVIA.

"Recent reports from local industry groups have confirmed that the vape industry has significant potential to contribute to the Malaysian economy with the ability to create jobs, develop existing businesses and SMEs within the industry, and attract investment. These are facts that cannot be ignored, and the government must act quickly to introduce regulations on vape products."

The survey also showed that 87 percent of Malaysians agree that taxes should be imposed on vaping products and 74 percent think that the revenue collected from vape products could be spent by the government on important sectors like education. "The imposition of excise duty on vape products since the beginning of this year was the right step to regulate the industry.

"Many also agree that vape products should be taxed because the collected revenue can be put to good use. However, the current excise structure does not include e-liquid vapes containing nicotine, which makes up the majority of the local market.

"This means that revenue collection will not be maximized, and the implementation of excise duty becomes ineffective," Rizani added.

The survey, conducted by Green Zebras, a market research firm, was commissioned to gain a better understanding of Malaysians' perceptions of vaping and its use as a tobacco harm reduction method.

The sample size of 1,025 Malaysian adults surveyed "reflects the perceptions of all Malaysian adults nationwide."
