Cambodia cracks down on e-cigarettes

Cambodia cracks down on e-cigarettes

2022-08-13

On the morning of June 22, the Cambodian National Police ordered that law enforcement officers cooperate with relevant authorities to continue to investigate and crack down on the introduction and industry of hookah and e-cigarettes, as signs of young people's use of e-cigarettes seem to have reappeared in society recently.


Mojito, deputy director general of the National Police Agency responsible for combating drug crimes, said this morning that due to the recent re-emergence of e-cigarette use, the National Police Agency once again publicized the regulations of the Anti-Narcotics Bureau and instructed the police to cooperate with the relevant authorities to deal with the situation. Young people and businesses will advocate for them to stop using and selling e-cigarettes, and will eventually take measures to crack down.


It is worth noting that a few years ago, e-cigarettes fascinated many young people. Many people gave up their studies and jobs, and even caused serious consequences to the country and society. It is indeed worrying. At that time, the Cambodian authorities took measures to crack down on e-cigarettes. There is no mass and open use of these products in society. Only recently have e-cigarettes and hookahs been showing signs of reappearing.


Mojito, deputy director of the National Police General Administration, instructed law enforcement officers to take immediate measures to curb the use and sale of hookahs and e-cigarettes, and seize all related products, but the process should not affect businesses that normally sell legal products. At the same time, measures are taken to stop the introduction and circulation of hookahs and e-cigarettes, and departments at all levels must join forces to crack down, bring education to those who sell these products, and destroy related products. If illegal drugs are found hidden in the imported hookahs and e-cigarettes, law enforcement officers must arrest them and transfer them to the court for legal disposal.


Some Cambodian experts believe that hookahs and e-cigarettes are a new type of drug that is eroding Cambodian young people, causing them to give up their studies and jobs, and even have serious consequences for society.


Although there are no legally prohibited drug ingredients in hookahs and e-cigarettes, there are nicotine ingredients that can cause addiction or dependence, which will seriously affect people's health. Convenience, it is easier to attract young people to use it, and even illegal drug ingredients may be mixed into it, which will make it more difficult for law enforcement officers to crack down.
