The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration strengthens supervision of e-cigarettes in accordance with the law

Protect the physical and mental health of minors

In the past few years, the e-cigarette industry has "grown savagely". Some products have problems such as unclear nicotine content and unclear added ingredients. In particular, some operators have promoted and misled consumers, induced minors to smoke e-cigarettes, which has harmed minors. Physical and mental health. Since e-cigarettes entered normal supervision on October 1, 2022, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration has actively guided e-cigarette business entities to operate legally and severely cracked down on illegal activities of e-cigarettes. What progress has been made so far in e-cigarette regulation? How to protect minors from e-cigarettes? How to strengthen supervision in the field of e-cigarette logistics delivery?

A "flavored" e-cigarette that looks like a "milk tea cup" and "coke can" has been sold online recently. Under the cover of cute pet appearance and fruit flavors, some minors are becoming hunting targets for "flavored" e-cigarettes. The "Measures for the Management of Electronic Cigarettes" that came into effect on May 1 last year stipulates that the sale of "flavored e-cigarettes" is explicitly prohibited.

Liu Peifeng, spokesperson of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration: In order to protect the physical and mental health of minors, special treatment of non-national standard flavored e-cigarettes such as "milk tea cups" and "cola cans" was organized. A total of 308,000 law enforcement inspectors were dispatched to inspect outlets selling e-cigarettes. 93,600 times, 775 cases were investigated and dealt with, and 1.365 million physical objects were seized, involving a total amount of 674 million yuan.

The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration stated that it will continue to clean up outlets selling e-cigarettes around campuses, strengthen the cleanup of illegal information related to e-cigarettes on the Internet, supervise Internet companies to implement independent cleanup mechanisms, and severely crack down on illegal activities such as selling e-cigarettes to minors. Li Baojiang, director of the Monopoly Supervision and Administration Department of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, said that the Joint Administration of Market Regulation will cut off online sales channels for e-cigarettes to protect the physical and mental health of minors.

Li Baojiang: Major domestic e-commerce platforms have closed 1559 e-cigarette online stores and deleted more than 380,000 e-cigarette product links; major online search platforms have stopped e-cigarette advertising services, and major e-commerce platforms have prohibited e-cigarette related keyword searches and blocked e-cigarette advertising information; social platforms have been closede-cigarette enterprisesOfficially certified accounts and Short Video social applications block e-cigarette promotion videos, achieving effective rectification of key areas and weak links in selling e-cigarettes to minors.

In terms of special inspections to regulate the order of e-cigarettes, from March 1 to April 25, tobacco monopoly bureaus at all levels conducted full-coverage special inspections to regulate the order of the e-cigarette market on e-cigarette production enterprises, wholesale enterprises, retail entities, etc., and inspected a total of 48265 operating entities, achieving full coverage inspection of operating entities in the entire industry chain of "production, wholesale and retail".

Yuan Chao, director of the Office of the Leading Group for Electronic Cigarette Supervision and Administration of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, said that most e-cigarette production enterprises that have obtained tobacco monopoly licenses in accordance with the law basically operate in compliance with regulations. Some enterprises have general violations of regulatory policies, and a few enterprises are suspected of violating laws and regulations.

Yuan Chao: The vast majority of unlicensed production enterprises have stopped operating or transformed into production in accordance with the law. Some enterprises still have illegal and illegal situations such as illegally manufacturing and selling "milk tea cups" flavored e-cigarettes. The vast majority of retail entities operate legally and in compliance with regulations, but some retail entities have violated laws and regulations such as selling e-cigarettes to minors, purchasing goods through illegal channels, and selling "milk tea cups" flavored e-cigarettes.

Yuan Chao said that for licensed business entities suspected of violating laws and regulations, they are stepping up the verification of illegal evidence facts and promoting administrative investigations. If criminal cases are involved, they are cooperating with public security organs in investigating them. For all licensed business entities that violate regulatory policies in general, guidance and supervision have been strengthened and rectification has been ordered within a time limit.

Yuan Chao: For unlicensed production enterprises that illegally manufacture and sell e-cigarette products, aerosols, and nicotine for cigarettes, the public security department and the municipal supervision department have jointly shut down and cleaned up production sites and facilities. Those suspected of committing crimes are cooperating with the public security organs. Strengthen case investigation. At the same time, enterprises that have suspended production but are suspected of resuming production have been included in the key monitoring targets of provincial tobacco monopoly bureaus in the later period, and the frequency of daily inspections has been increased.

At present, there are still some lawless elements who are obsessed with profit-seeking and take risks."New platforms" such as e-commerce, Short Video, live broadcasts, and social networking have been making false propaganda and illegal sales of e-cigarettes. They use express delivery, errands, and in-city distribution to avoid e-cigarette supervision issues urgently need to be regulated. How will we strengthen supervision in the field of e-cigarette logistics delivery?# p#pagination title #e#

Li Baojiang: Jointly with the State Post Bureau to issue an announcement on the limited delivery of e-cigarette products, etc., and cooperate with the General Administration of Customs to issue regulations on the limited delivery of e-cigarette products, etc. into China. The State Post Bureau interviewed relevant enterprises and urged them to strictly implement the relevant delivery systems, independently handle sites that illegally transport e-cigarettes, rectify illegal issues involving e-cigarettes, and standardize e-cigarette delivery behavior.

In fact, my country's e-cigarette industry has obvious export-oriented characteristics. Most of the e-cigarettes produced in China are sold overseas, and the e-cigarette export trade continues to improve. However, during the special inspection to regulate the order of the e-cigarette market, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration still found that some licensed enterprises lacked awareness of legal compliance, failed to fully implement various import and export trade supervision policies, and had problems such as incomplete grasp of laws and regulations on export destination countries (regions), and the quality control system for export products needed to be improved. Yuan Chao introduced that he will supervise certified enterprises to fully implement import and export trade supervision policies.

Yuan Chao: It is required that the packaging and domestic logistics activities of exported e-cigarette products should comply with relevant regulations. It is required that bonded imported nicotine and aerosolized substances for e-cigarettes, and exported e-cigarette products should be filed on the e-cigarette trading management platform in a timely manner. Strengthen services for enterprises 'ability to respond to international trade risks and challenges, guide the import and export trade of e-cigarettes to maintain stable and healthy, and help enterprises "go global" development.
