The Sabah Health Department has launched Operation Selamat Paru-Paru (Ops PaPa), a statewide initiative to regulate vape use. Instead of a full ban, the operation focuses on:


✔️ Random inspections in major towns

✔️ Stricter checks on vape sellers

✔️ Monitoring schools and campuses to protect youths

✔️ Coordinating enforcement with multiple agencies


For now, vaping remains legal in Sabah but under tight watch until a final decision on a ban is made.


At DocTok, we see this as an important step in balancing public health with regulation. While vaping isn’t banned, monitoring helps protect youths and reminds us that healthcare isn’t just about hospitals. It’s about everyday policies that keep us safe.


Should Malaysia ban vapes completely, or continue with strict regulation?
