In Suiping County, several stationery shops near primary schools are surprisingly selling e-cigarettes to elementary school students! The complainant's son bought one at the Morning Glory stationery store across from a primary school and hopes Suiping Online can pay attention to this issue and see which department can take action.
Recently, many children have been using these e-cigarettes, and parents are very angry. However, they don't know which department to complain to. A netizen named "Accompanying Me Through" discovered that many elementary school students were seen smoking what looked like toy e-cigarettes outside shops near the school while picking up their children. "Aren't e-cigarettes meant for adults to quit smoking? How did they become children's toys?" This parent is confused.
According to him, these children, who don't understand much, are "cloud-chasing" with e-cigarettes, and the scene is shocking. "Who knows if these things are hygienic? Selling such items to such young children is truly heartless." This parent hopes to upload this situation to Suiping Online, and many netizens expressed that "what the merchants are doing is simply harming children."
Staff from Suiping Online inquired with the County Food and Drug Administration, County Tobacco Bureau, and the Industry and Commerce Quality Supervision Bureau. "Relevant regulations do not clearly define whether e-cigarettes are food or drugs, so e-cigarette products do not fall under the jurisdiction of food and drug supervision," said a staff member from the Food and Drug Administration. A staff member from the Tobacco Bureau also stated that e-cigarettes only resemble regular cigarettes in appearance but do not contain tobacco substances. The 12315 consumer complaint hotline indicated that if it can be confirmed that these cigarettes are "three-no" products, they will arrange for relevant personnel from the Industry and Commerce Quality Supervision Bureau to investigate.
Elementary school students' worldview, outlook on life, and values are not yet fully developed. Indulging children who know they are doing wrong may affect their future. Many merchants are solely pursuing profit without considering the physical and mental health of children. Therefore, as parents, if you see incidents like elementary school students smoking e-cigarettes, it is indeed time to take action.
