Xinji TV: Strong Action to Cut Off the Black Hand Behind Vaping Devices

To strengthen the regulation of the e-cigarette market

And effectively protect the healthy growth of minors

Recently, the Municipal Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, in conjunction with

the Public Security Bureau, Market Supervision Administration, Education Bureau, and other departments

lawfully rectified the sale of e-cigarettes to minors

Inspectors conducted on-site visits

and checked 5 stores near the Cultural Corridor

and found 4 stores selling e-cigarettes illegally

and seized over 1,350 e-cigarettes and counterfeit cigarettes.

It is understood that

the mandatory national standards for e-cigarettes

officially came into effect on October 1, 2022

and e-cigarette regulation

has transitioned into a new phase of normalized regulation.

Flavored e-cigarettes

and e-cigarettes that allow the addition of vaporizing substances

are completely banned from sale.

Our city continues to increase

efforts to clean up and rectify the sale of e-cigarettes to minors

and severely crack down on illegal activities related to e-cigarettes.

Strengthening inspections of licensed e-cigarette holders

and merchants around campuses

and intensifying the cleanup efforts against non-standard e-cigarettes such as "milk tea cups" and "cola cans"

to ensure that illegal e-cigarette sales around campuses are completely "zeroed out".

Deputy Director of the Municipal Tobacco Monopoly Bureau Liu Wenli: "The harm of e-cigarettes is the same as that of traditional cigarettes; long-term use can lead to addiction. We will continue to strengthen the regulation of e-cigarettes to protect the healthy growth of young people."
