Perlis Bans Vape Sales Starting August 1st

Perlis state in Malaysia has implemented a ban on the sale of vape products, effective August 1, 2025. This decision, announced by Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli, will impact fewer than 50 vape outlets currently operating in the state. The ban is part of a broader effort to control the sale and use of vaping products in Malaysia. While some support the ban for public health reasons, others express concerns about the economic impact on businesses and individual liberties. The state government maintains that the ban is necessary to protect the health of its citizens, particularly young people.
