Vapeo / Cigarrillos electrónicos — Malaysia

Vapear cuenta como fumar según la ley de Malasia, así que está prohibido en todos los lugares donde se prohíbe fumar: locales de comida, tiendas con aire acondicionado, centros comerciales, transporte público, autobuses escolares y las zonas de los aeropuertos fuera de las salas de fumadores designadas. Los menores de 18 años no pueden comprar ni usar un vapeador. Su dispositivo y su líquido tampoco tienen franquicia libre de impuestos, así que declárelos en el canal rojo.

Original (EN): Vaping counts as smoking under Malaysian law, so it is banned everywhere smoking is - eating places, air-conditioned shops, shopping complexes, public transport, school buses and airport areas outside the designated smoking rooms - and under-18s may not buy or use a vape. Your device and e-liquid also get no duty-free allowance, so declare them at the Red Lane.

Smoking or vaping in a gazetted non-smoking area: fine not exceeding RM5,000 (Act 852 s.16(3)). Selling a vape or e-liquid to a person under 18: an individual faces up to RM20,000 or 1 year or both for a first offence and RM30,000 or 2 years for a subsequent one; a body corporate faces RM20,000 to RM100,000 or up to 2 years for a first offence and RM50,000 to RM300,000 or up to 3 years for a subsequent one (s.13(2)). A minor who buys or uses: fine up to RM500 or community service (s.13(4), s.17(2)). Failure to declare a vape at customs is a separate offence under the Customs Act 1967.
