Terengganu enforces vape sales ban despite appeals
KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu government remains firm on fully enforcing the ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes or vape, effective since Aug 1, despite appeals for postponement. State Local Government, Housing and Health Committee chairman Datuk Wan Sukairi Wan Abdullah stated that traders were given ample notice—about seven months—to clear their stock. 'We've given enough time for traders to clear their vape stock before their premises are no longer allowed to sell such products,' he said. He added that excuses from traders claiming unsold stock will no longer be accepted. Wan Sukairi spoke after launching the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign for Terengganu, officiated by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar. He emphasised that all vape-related banners, advertisements, and event sponsorships must be removed statewide. The enforcement aims to safeguard Terengganu residents, particularly youth, from vaping's harmful effects. – Bernama

Terengganu firm on vape sales ban despite appeals
KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu government remains firm on fully enforcing the ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes or vape, which took effect on Aug 1, despite appeals from certain parties to postpone it. State local government, housing and health committee chairman Datuk Wan Sukairi Wan Abdullah said the state government had given ample early notice of the ban and provided sufficient time, about seven months, before enforcement began. "We've given enough time for traders to clear their vape stock before their premises are no longer allowed to sell such products," he said, adding that excuses from some traders claiming they still have unsold vape products will no longer be accepted. He was speaking to reporters after the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign for Terengganu, officiated by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar at Wisma Darul Iman here on Wednesday (Aug 6). He said that in line with the vape sales ban, all banners or advertisements related to vape products, including for events or those sponsored by vape companies, must be taken down across the state. Wan Sukairi said the enforcement aims to protect the people of Terengganu, especially the younger generation, from the harmful effects of vaping. - Bernama
