The e-cigarette industry is a major player in the market. Fighting “ quit smoking, healthier electronic cigarettes ” China's e-cigarette prospects? Will China standardize the regulation of electronic cigarettes? Science and Technology Daily reporter interviewed experts and scholars on this.  ; E-cigarette industry development is in full swing. E-cigarette industry in full swing The electronic cigarette industry is in full swing. E-cigarettes are electronic products that mimic cigarettes, the appearance, smoke, flavor, feel, cigarettes are almost the same. 2003, the Chinese invented e-cigarettes, in 2004, the industrialization of the market, and later, gradually flow into Europe and the United States and other countries.   China is the inventor of electronic cigarettes and the main production place. 2008, & ldquo; such as smoke & rdquo; at home and abroad sales revenue amounted to 278 million Hong Kong dollars. However, because e-cigarette products are easily imitated, therefore, the quality of e-cigarettes is mixed, China's e-cigarette market is in an unorganized state of competition, and some poor quality products have stirred up the whole market.   In recent years, electronic cigarettes in the United States and Europe and other countries have risen rapidly, the international tobacco industry giants British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, Rorillard Tobacco, Reynolds American Tobacco, Fillmore United States, and other tobacco have entered the electronic cigarette market. Smaller e-cigarette companies are springing up. 2013, global e-cigarette sales were about $3 billion, and the U.S. market is growing exponentially each year, with e-cigarette sales projected to grow 17-fold by 2030. Some international tobacco companies are investing heavily in e-cigarettes.  ; In recent years, China's e-cigarette industry is also rapidly developing, most of the world's e-cigarette products or their accessories produced in China, in 2013, China's e-cigarette sales of about 1.5 billion yuan.   In order to promote the benign and long-term development of China's electronic cigarette market, the electronic cigarette industry insiders hope to standardize the electronic cigarette industry, research and development, and the establishment of tobacco oil quality standards.   The e-cigarette industry is a major player in the e-cigarette industry. China's State Tobacco Monopoly Administration was previously opposed to e-cigarettes, and since 2013 turned to support e-cigarettes. “ Grasp the development trend of the international tobacco market, attaches great importance to the heating of non-combustible cigarettes, e-cigarettes, mouth containing smoke and other new tobacco products research and development, and as a relationship between the industry's sustainable development of the strategic, overall, long-term major issues ” This year, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau of the organization of the eight provinces and municipalities in the cigarette company to carry out research and development of e-cigarettes.  ; No harm to the “body” lack of scientific evidence  ; E-cigarettes are a great way to quit smoking. Initially, electronic cigarettes were invented to quit smoking and reduce the toxicity of cigarettes, but whether smoking electronic cigarettes will really quit smoking and reduce toxicity? This has become an important topic for global tobacco control experts in recent years. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Tobacco Control Office has been working on this issue for several years. Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Tobacco Control Office Yang Jie researcher told reporters, “ e-cigarettes toxins than ordinary cigarettes low, but this does not mean that e-cigarettes are harmless to health. ” E-cigarettes contain nicotine, simple inhalation of nicotine has health risks. Nicotine tobacco's addictive component, can contribute to cardiovascular disease, it is not a carcinogen, but can play the role of & ldquo; tumor initiating factor & rdquo;. Some of the basic biological aspects of malignant and neurodegenerative diseases involve nicotine. There is sufficient evidence that fetal and adolescent exposure to nicotine may have long-term consequences for brain development.   Smoking e-cigarettes emits fine and ultrafine particulate matter, nicotine, and carcinogens; the fine and ultrafine particulate matter emitted is similar to that of traditional cigarettes, but mostly ultrafine. Therefore , e-cigarettes can not eliminate the health effects of second-hand smoke on non-smokers. Yang Jie believes that “ zero tolerance for second-hand smoke from traditional cigarettes is also suitable for e-cigarettes. ”   Currently there is no scientific evidence to prove that electronic cigarettes to achieve the purpose of smoking cessation, there is no scientific evaluation of electronic cigarettes smoking cessation efficiency of the study. The evidence for the use of e-cigarettes as an effective method of smoking cessation is limited and cannot be concluded at this time. The use of e-cigarettes may help to shift some smokers from cigarettes to using e-cigarettes altogether.   Gan Quan, director of the China office of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, believes that the rapid development of e-cigarette marketing, the public's knowledge of e-cigarettes and the use of rapidly increasing; there is no government agency has evaluated e-cigarettes, no approval of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. “ If you really want to quit smoking, we encourage smokers to use a series of therapies that have been recognized by government agencies to quit smoking. ”   Regulation is in “a state of three ”.   There is a lack of strong scientific evidence on the safety of e-cigarettes. Governments' attitudes and policies toward e-cigarettes vary greatly: some countries consider it a consumer product, others consider it a drug, and in some countries it is considered a tobacco product. Policies towards it, too, vary, with some countries supporting it, others banning it, others regulating it appropriately, and others not taking a position on it so far.  ; The electronic tobacco industry in Canada will be the first to be able to use electronic cigarettes. According to the reporter's understanding, at present, Canada will be e-cigarettes as drugs to regulate; Australia and New Zealand have considered the nicotine-containing e-cigarettes to drug status to regulate. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is the use of e-cigarettes and other issues for research, and ultimately will be e-cigarettes as & ldquo; tobacco products & rdquo; or the characterization of drugs and improve the regulatory system and means.  ; At present, most of the world's e-cigarettes are produced in China, but China's relevant organizations have not yet made a clear statement, nor have they taken control measures. At present, China's e-cigarettes are in “ three no ” state, no product standards, no quality supervision, no safety evaluation.   China's e-cigarette industry where to go? Not only e-cigarette industry insiders have doubts, China's tobacco control people are also full of worries. The International Federation of Anti-Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases (IFATLD) The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases issued a statement in early September in support of the production, marketing and sales of e-cigarettes to regulate, and that the preferred option for regulation is to control e-cigarettes as medicines; if it is not possible to control e-cigarettes as medicines, in the case of insufficient evidence in research, it is recommended that consideration be given to a comprehensive ban on e-cigarettes advertisements, promotions and sponsorships; the prohibition of e-cigarettes as a means of cessation of smoking to promote; the prohibition of displaying e-cigarettes in retail stores; prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to minors; prohibiting the use of flavor additives in e-cigarettes and their liquid cartridges that are appealing to children; labeling e-cigarettes and disposable e-cigarettes with information about the additives they use, the amount of nicotine they contain, and health warning labels; prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes in public places, workplaces, and on public transportation; establishing e-cigarette liquid cartridge consumer safety standards to ensure consistency in the manufacturing process and set an upper limit on their nicotine content.  #p#Page Break #e#
