China intends to take steps to regulate their market 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 news conference this week.
Η προσπάθεια αυτή ξεκίνησε καθώς οι Κινέζικες νεοσύστατες επιχειρήσεις ηλεκτρονικών τσιγάρων φαίνεται να έχουν "ξεφύγει" στην προσπάθειά τους να προσελκύσουν την προσοχή στη μεγαλύτερη αγορά καπνιστών στον κόσμο.
Vaping suppliers in China are currently unknown labs. At least 20 Companies e-cigarette companies in China have raised their funding since early 2019, according to data compiled 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 the use of e cigarettes can help adults stop smoking while others have shown that electronic 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.
Η Κίνα από την άλλη, φέρεται να εφαρμόζει περισσότερους ελέγχους στη νέα τεχνολογία καπνίσματος. Οι έρευνες δείχνουν ότι το αερόλυμα που παράγεται με θέρμανση από τα e cigarettes μπορεί να περιέχει "πολλές βλαβερές ουσίες" και ότι τα πρόσθετα στα ηλεκτρονικά τσιγάρα μπορούν να "δημιουργήσουν κινδύνους για την υγεία", όπως said Mao. He also said that the controversial nicotine level marking can lead to bad behavior of smokers and non-strict device standards can lead to battery explosion and other safety incidents.
Like the US, China has also seen a worryingly high participation rate among young people, which is another reason that pushes Beijing to keep industry under control. The use of electronic cigarettes by children, adolescents and young adults has proven 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 which determine the nicotine level, type of additives, accessories and designs allowed in smoking devices powered by batteries.
