TEMERLOH: The police and the National Anti-Drugs Agency have been asked to monitor the use of electronic cigarettes or vape among school students by conducting random inspections.

Deputy home minister Ismail Mohamed Said said the move was necessary due to the increasing number of students who were into vaping nowadays.

“I was informed that there are school students who are addicted to vape. In fact, there are certain flavours, such as ‘mushroom’, which are dangerous.

“If it is proven that they are addicted to it, we have to send them to a treatment centre,” he told reporters after launching an anti-drugs community programme here today. - FMT
