What Are the Ways to Buy YOOZ? Can You Still Buy YOOZ Online Now?

Since e-cigarettes were jointly ordered off all e-commerce platforms by state authorities last November, they have not resurfaced on online shopping platforms.

As a genuinely homegrown emerging industry in China, e-cigarettes went through several years of wild growth and disorderly expansion. In order to strengthen regulation over e-cigarettes and other new tobacco products, the authorities finally stepped in and reined in this increasingly uncontrolled “runaway horse.” The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration drafted the Decision on Amending the Regulations for the Implementation of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China (Draft for Public Comment), stating that “e-cigarettes and other new tobacco products shall be regulated with reference to the relevant provisions on cigarettes under these Regulations.”

This also means that if you want to buy e-cigarettes now, you can only go to nearby offline retail stores. Not only are prices often high, but some unscrupulous mixed-product shops also sell counterfeits and imitation goods. So, is it still possible to buy reliable, authentic YOOZ products online?

Based on the firsthand experience of friends and colleagues around me, many say that e-cigarettes can definitely be a good option for replacing traditional cigarettes. One pod contains about as much nicotine as roughly three packs of cigarettes. A colleague who used to smoke a pack a day typically needs around four days to finish one pod. After getting used to vaping, smoking traditional combustible cigarettes again can feel unpleasant, almost like smoking a “fake cigarette.” On top of that, pod prices are much cheaper than spending the same number of days smoking regular cigarettes. There are no cigarette butts, ash, or lingering smoke smell, and they are convenient to use—whether you’re curled up on a bed or sofa, out in the countryside covered with dry fallen leaves, or standing on a long open street with icy wind howling past, you can take a puff anytime, and there’s no fire hazard.

One last point: for people who drive, it’s even more of a blessing. No need to flick ash, no worry about ash blowing into your eyes when the window is open, and no getting scolded by your wife because the car reeks of smoke or because of secondhand smoke ^o^
