Deputies Propose Issuing Regulations for the E-cigarette Industry

This year during the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference sessions, National People's Congress deputy He Lin proposed recommendations on “protecting minors from e-cigarettes and accelerating the introduction of industry regulations.” She said that at present, there are no clear industry standards for e-cigarettes in China. Nicotine content is not clearly defined, and it is also unknown whether other added flavoring substances are harmful to health. In addition, the materials contained in some electronic components are still unclear. Therefore, industry regulations urgently need to be established.
