Cambodia: Drug Agency Urges Authorities to Enforce Bans on Vapes and HTPs

[geovalin]

Cambodia’s National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD) has instructed all relevant ministries and local institutions, to set in place adequate enforcement strategies pertaining to the ban on the use and commercialization of heated tobacco products (HTPs) and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems.

 

The NACD has reported receiving information that there are still many locals using and selling the products. The agency who banned the products in 2014, said that these illicit activities will only feed the blackmarket.

 

To this effect, the NACD is urging all ministries and other relevant entities, to take the immediate action required to enforce the ban. “All forms of trafficking, trading and importation of HTPs must be stopped and information on import restrictions must be disseminated to all vendors and the public,” reads a directive by the agency.

Very sad to see this idiotic trend continuing in Asia. It must be goverment-owned tobacco businesses behind these bans?
