Health experts are urging Malaysia to implement a complete ban on vape products, citing the United Kingdom's struggles with vaping-related health issues as a cautionary tale. They argue that partial bans, as seen in the UK with disposable vapes being outlawed but refillable ones remaining legal, have proven insufficient in protecting young people. Malaysia has observed an increase in vape devices contaminated with synthetic cannabinoids, etomidate, and other dangerous substances, mirroring the UK's "zombie vapes" epidemic. Consultant paediatrician Dr. Amar Singh emphasizes the need for a nationwide ban to safeguard youth, as many teenagers wrongly perceive vaping as harmless. The National Health and Morbidity Survey 2022 indicated that approximately 14.9% of Malaysian adolescents aged 13-17 use vape products, a figure potentially rising significantly. Experts warn that newer psychoactive substances in vapes are highly potent, leading to rapid dependence, severe neurological complications, psychosis, and potentially permanent neurocognitive damage in developing brains, with the government already reporting increased seizures and tax revenues from these products.
