“The National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD) has instructed all relevant ministries and institutions to take immediate action to stop the use and commercialisation of heated tobacco products (HTPs) – devices that heat actual tobacco to release its nicotine content – and Electronic Delivery of Nicotine Systems (EDNS), which are popularly known as vaporisers or vapes and utilise liquids containing nicotine. The NACD announcement, citing a World Health Organisation finding, said the use of cigars, EDNS and HTPs can lead to serious lung disease and even death. According to the NACD, Cambodia has issued guidelines and taken measures to prevent the use, exploitation and importation of cigars and EDNS since February 2014, but the guidelines do not include all of the new HTPs available on the market.
