Dapu Police Carry Out a Special Inspection of E-Cigarettes Around Schools

On the morning of June 4, 2021, the Dapu County Public Security Bureau's Anti-Drug 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 around schools.
 
At Hushan Middle School, Experimental Middle School, and Dapu Primary School, the joint inspection team checked retail stores, stationery shops, and restaurants around the campus for any illegal sales of e-cigarettes and cannabis e-cigarettes. The anti-drug police also educated shop owners around the schools about new drugs such as "cannabis e-cigarettes," "Kawa 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, or using cannabis e-cigarettes is illegal, and any such behavior should be reported to the public security authorities.
 
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 and rejection around schools was effectively enhanced, improving the ability of shop owners to recognize and prevent drugs.
 
The police remind: According to legal regulations, to protect the physical and mental health of minors, all 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.
