Heated tobacco products are regulated under the Control of Tobacco Product Regulation (Amendment) 2015, whereby smoking is defined as inhaling and expelling the smoke or vapor of any tobacco product, and this includes holding or having control over any ignited, heated or vaporised tobacco product. A call has been made to Putrajaya (the Malaysian Government offices), by tobacco control activists, for heated tobacco product refills to be treated similarly to tobacco products in terms of tax, packaging, health warnings, age restrictions, and use in public places.
