Jiangsu Jurong Launches Joint Vape Inspection Around Schools

To further protect minors from the harms of vaping, on June 16 the Jurong City Procuratorate in Jiangsu Province, together with the city Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and Market Supervision Administration, carried out a special inspection of vape retailers around schools.

During the joint inspection, officers inspected vape shops operating near schools. The inspection focused on whether business licenses were valid, whether any business activities exceeded the approved scope, and whether clear signs prohibiting sales to minors were posted in prominent locations. For shops that did not meet operating standards, inspectors required on-site rectification. During the inspection, staff also posted the “Notice on Further Protecting Minors from the Harm of Electronic Cigarettes” inside vape shops.

Next, the procuratorate will continue working with relevant departments to carry out special inspections of vape shops near schools across the city.
