Dapu Police Launch Special Inspections of Vaping Near Schools

On the morning of June 4, 2021, the Dapu County Public Security Bureau's Narcotics Control Team, in conjunction with the County Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, County Market Supervision Administration, County Education Bureau, and County Women's Federation, conducted a special inspection of illegal sales of e-cigarettes and cannabis e-cigarettes near schools.
 

At Hushan Middle School, Experimental Middle School, and Dapu Primary School in the county, members of the joint inspection team checked retail stores, stationery stores, and restaurants around the campus for illegal sales of e-cigarettes and cannabis e-cigarettes. The narcotics officers also educated shop owners near the schools about new drugs such as "cannabis e-cigarettes," "Kawaii drinks," and "little branches," guiding them on how to identify new drugs during their daily operations. They also informed the shop owners that storing, selling, transporting, and using cannabis e-cigarettes are illegal activities, and any similar behavior should be reported to the public security authorities promptly.
 
This special operation inspected 15 business locations, distributed 50 flyers, and found no illegal sales of e-cigarettes or cannabis e-cigarettes. Through the dissemination of knowledge, the awareness of drug prevention around the campus has been effectively enhanced, improving the ability of many business operators to recognize and prevent drugs.
 
The police remind: According to the law, to protect the physical and mental health of minors, all types of market entities are prohibited from selling e-cigarettes to minors. Any organization or individual should discourage and stop the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. Those who violate the regulations will face serious legal consequences.
