Η China intends to take measures to regulate the market of e cigarettes, as it is concerned about the health of consumers and of course why sales of e-cigarettes are constantly increasing in recent years.
Its national health committee China has launched an investigation into e-cigarettes and plans to issue new legislation for the industry, health authority chief Mao Qunan said at a press conference this weekteam.
This effort began as the Chinese startups businesses of electronic cigarettes seem to have "escaped" in their attempt to attract her caution in the largest smoking market in the world.
Vaping suppliers in China are currently unknown labs. At least 20 e-cigarette companies in China have raised funding since early 2019, according to data collected by Crunchbase.
All of these companies are facing China Tobacco's state monopoly, the world's largest cigarette maker, and provides the government with colossal tax revenue.
Some researchers support that the use of e-cigarettes can help adults quit smoking while others have proven that e-cigarettes are just as addictive as traditional cigarettes.
The other major controversy is the growing use of electronic cigarettes among adolescents, which has led to California's ban on sales of these products.
China, on the other hand, is reportedly implementing more controls in the news technology smoking. Research shows that the heated aerosol from e-cigarettes can contain “many harmful substances” and that additives in e-cigarettes can “create health risks” such as said Mao. It also said that controversial nicotine level labeling could lead to poor smoking behavior and lax device standards could lead to an explosion of battery and other security incidents.
Like the US, China has seen an alarmingly high participation rate among young people, which is another reason that is pushing the Beijing to keep the industry under control. The use of e-cigarettes by children, teenagers and young adults has been shown to be unsafe because nicotine, which is highly addictive, can damage brain development.
In May, China drew up a set of standards (PDF in Chinese) for electronic cigarettes that determine the level of nicotine, the type of additives, accessories and designs allowed in battery-powered smoking devices.
