Urine tests can detect vape-related drugs, says Saifuddin


BANDAR BAHARU: Urine tests not only detect drugs taken conventionally but also via electronic cigarettes (vapes), warned Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

He said rehabilitation officers of the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) could detect prohibited substances at a preliminary stage, especially after the enforcement of the Drug Dependents (Treatment and Rehabilitation) (Amendment) Act 2024, passed by the Dewan Rakyat in August.
