W Malezji urządzenia do wapowania są formalnie traktowane jako sprzęt elektryczny. W związku z tym, jeśli są sprzedawane z liquidami beznikotynowymi, mogą być oferowane w sklepach specjalistycznych. Liquidy zawierające nikotynę są klasyfikowane jako trucizna (ustawa o truciznach oraz rozporządzenie o kontroli leków i kosmetyków z 1952 roku) i mogą być sprzedawane wyłącznie jako produkty lecznicze przez licencjonowane apteki lub zarejestrowanych pracowników medycznych. Należy jednak zaznaczyć, że poszczególne stany mają własne przepisy i ograniczenia, które nie zawsze są spójne z polityką krajową.

- A nationwide survey among 4288 Malaysian adults (18 and over) was conducted in 2016 to measure the prevalence and to describe the population characteristics of e-cigarette users. A complex sampling design was used, and data were collected using a face-to-face questionnaire. The prevalence of all type of e-cigarette use was higher in urban than in rural areas. Current e-cigarette users were likely to be younger, males, and with higher education level. Among current e-cigarette users, 74% (95% CI = 64-82) also smoked conventional cigarettes (dual user).

Prevalence of Current Smoking Cigarettes and Current Vaping
- Burning Issues: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2020
Overall, as a percentage of the total adult population, current use of vaping devices in different countries ranges between 1% and 7%. As shown by this graphic there are eight countries where the prevalence of vaping is 3% or more including the UK, United Arab Emirates (UAE), US, France, Iceland, Belgium, the Russian Federation and Malaysia. The average prevalence of current vaping product use is 1.6 % of the adult population in the EU, as found in the EU Eurobarometer survey. A further 13% “used to use them, but no longer do so” or “have tried them once or twice”. 85.6% “have never tried or used them”. Levels of sometime vaping experience range up to 27% of the adult population in Greece, and 20% or above in Estonia, Czech Republic, France, Cyprus, Latvia and Austria. Clearly, there are many smokers who are interested in these products. But there is also a large gap between those who have shown enough interest to have tried vaping at some time, and those who have gone on to currently vape.
