A long-delayed bill to control smoking products - including vapes which currently can be legally sold to children - will be brought to the cabinet for approval tomorrow (Wednesday), according to a source in the Health Ministry.

The Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill was supposed to be debated in the Dewan Rakyat on Oct 10 but was pulled without explanation at the 11th hour.
