Recently, Chen Minhui, president of the Hong Kong Electronic Cigarette Association, said in an interview with the media that the Electronic Cigarette Association will strive for Hong Kong to re -open electronic cigarettes and use new national standard products to the mainland.

He believes that Hong Kong can follow national policies to sell pure tobacco -flavored electronic cigarettes.

In 2015, Hong Kong proposed to ban electronic cigarette sales, and finally banned electronic cigarette sales at the end of April 2022. Not only that, Hong Kong also clearly prohibits the use of trucks or ships to be transported overseas through Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a member of the world's more than 40 countries and regions that strictly ban electronic cigarettes. For a long time, many organizations in Hong Kong have promoted the prohibition of electronic cigarette sales. The main purpose is to ensure the health of young people and control tobacco products.

The transfer of the transfer caused a large amount of revenue in Hong Kong.

After the above ban was released, a survey of the association members according to the Hong Kong Freight Forwarding Agency and Logistics Association (HAFFA) showed that 330,000 tons of aviation cargo was affected by the ban every year, and the value of the transfer of export goods was estimated to exceed 120 billion yuan.

Chen Minhui, chairman of the Hong Kong Electronic Cigarette Association, said in an interview with two supremacy that after investigation, the conservative estimation of the ban has been in the case of the ban in the past six months, the cost of Hong Kong's loss has exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars (about RMB 9.341 billion). The Hong Kong government will hope that this part of income will be retained in Hong Kong. "

Hong Kong Freight Forwarding and Logistics Association (Haffa Chairman Gary Lau believes that the regulations have caused the overall air export volume of Hong Kong to severely decline, causing Hong Kong airlines, airlines, cargo stations and Hong Kong international airports to lose hundreds of thousands of tons each year. This is bound to shake shake As a regional transshipment hub, Hong Kong has been greatly hit by people's livelihood.

Recently, there are media reports that Hong Kong may cancel the ban before the end of the year to promote the growth of government fiscal revenue. However, Chen Minhui believes that the revocation of the procedure of the Hong Kong legislative process is the fastest for half a year.

The weight of electronic cigarettes exported by China each year is about 500,000 tons. Hong Kong is a global transportation hub. It adopts the same security rules as international airports such as Europe and the United States, South Korea, Singapore, and the procedures are concise. The geography from Shenzhen to Hong Kong is close to convenient transportation. Before the ban was implemented, about half of the electronic cigarettes were exported from Hong Kong to the world.

After the Hong Kong ban took effect, Shenzhen Electronic Cigarette's global transportation has become a big problem. Shenzhen Baoan Airport has established a whitelist system for easy exports. As of October 21, 35 companies have passed the "whitelist" review.

Chen Minhui believes that there are more than 600 electronic cigarette companies with production licenses in China, and there are only thirty -five white list companies. The remaining 500 manufacturers may be the first choice for Hong Kong (export).

After the operation ban was revoked, Chen Minhui believed that there were two ways to cope with the implementation of electronic cigarettes to Hong Kong and then flowed into the territory and breeding the black market.

The first is to use technology. Chen Minhui said that these technologies can be realized in the logistics staff or logistics box. But in comparison, transportation costs will increase.

Another method is to actively communicate the government, find a breakthrough of problems from the policy side, and call for the ban on the sales of electronic cigarettes, follow the mainland policy, and sell tobacco -flavored electronic cigarettes.

Speaking of the future of the tobacco and electronic smoke industries, he expects that with the increasingly stricter of smoking ban, traditional tobacco will disappear around 2030, and around 2050, electronic cigarettes will no longer exist. The transformation of "medical atomization" has become a new medical pillar industry.

It is understood that many countries and regions have adopted a strict tobacco policy. For example, at the end of 2021, the New Zealand government issued a proposal, stipulating that the lowest age of buying tobacco from 2027 will increase from 18 years of age. If this proposal takes effect, it means that people born after 2009 will not buy cigarettes for life. Denmark announced in March 2022 that it plans to prohibit cigarettes and Nigerine products from citizens born in China after 2010. Even after they are adults, they cannot buy cigarettes to ensure that future generations stay away from tobacco.
