In Malaysia, drug-laced vape seizures stoke US-like ‘zombie epidemic’ fears

South China Morning Post
Viral videos of dazed Malaysian men vaping have sparked fears of a drug-laced vape epidemic.

Summary

Viral videos showing young Malaysian men appearing dazed and disoriented after vaping have intensified concerns about drug-laced liquids spreading through the country's e-cigarette market. The clips, shared widely on social media, depict local men slumped on the ground or behaving erratically after allegedly inhaling piu-piu or piao-piao. Authorities have responded with arrests and warnings, with police seizing a bottle of vape liquid suspected to contain ketamine. Officials warn that the trend risks normalizing substance abuse and an unhealthy lifestyle, giving a negative image to the younger generation.
