PETALING JAYA: The Finance Ministry must allocate half of the revenue collected from taxes on nicotine and non-nicotine vape liquids to the Health Ministry to support public health initiatives aimed at combating the rising use of e-cigarettes among youth, says Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (Seatca), based in Bangkok.
Seatca welcomed the enforcement of the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024 (Act 852), which came into effect on Tuesday (Oct 1).
