E-cigarette product principle

Electronic cigarettes, also known as electric atomization cigarettes, virtual mechanism cigarettes. It consists of three parts: a pod containing e-liquid, an atomizer and a battery rod. While the electric heating wire is heating the e-liquid, the atomizer emits ultrasonic waves to atomize the e-liquid, and the atomized e-liquid enters the mouth with the airflow, thereby achieving the effect of simulating smoking.

Electronic cigarettes on the domestic market are mainly divided into two types: 'heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes' and 'vape oil electronic cigarettes'.

Heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes are mainly composed of two parts: a heating rod and a pod. The shape and structure of the pod is similar to that of traditional cigarettes, containing filter cotton and shredded tobacco, which is closer to the real taste of traditional cigarettes.

Another type of e-liquid electronic cigarette, its basic structure includes a battery assembly, an atomizer and a cartridge. The e-liquid in the pod is generally made of a mixture of nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, vegetable glycerin and taste-improving additives. Different from traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes are said to contain no tar, and the battery rod is used to power the atomizer, which can convert the liquid nicotine in the pod into mist, so that the smoker can feel similar to smoking.

In terms of the types of electronic cigarettes, it is understood that there are currently a large number of smokers who use heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes. This is mainly because the heat-not-burn electronic cigarette is easy to carry. It only needs a charging box, a heating rod and a pod, and there is no need to carry extra oil. And the smell is small, no soot, and will not cause disgust to others because of the smell of smoke on the body.

Some smokers say that heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes taste more 'fragrant' than traditional cigarettes, and can replace traditional cigarettes to a certain extent in the case of cigarette addiction.

Extended information:

Since 2007, e-cigarettes, as a new type of tobacco, began to enter people's field of vision, which was called 'electronic nicotine delivery system' at that time. Its characteristic is that it only provides nicotine, no tar, and can achieve the effect of traditional cigarettes without burning.

The inhalation method of electronic cigarettes is very similar to that of traditional cigarettes. Although the e-cigarette oil does not contain tar, carbon monoxide and other substances that endanger human health, the main component still contains nicotine.

In my country, there is no official national standard for electronic cigarettes. All kinds of e-cigarette products on the market are relatively random in terms of raw material selection, additive use, process design, and quality control. Potential safety hazards such as the addition of safe ingredients.

The latest domestic policy document on e-cigarettes is on August 30, 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration jointly issued a 'State Administration for Market Regulation and State Tobacco Monopoly Notice on the sale of e-cigarettes.

The notice pointed out that the core consumption ingredient of most e-cigarettes is purified nicotine, namely nicotine. Nicotine is a highly toxic chemical, and the respiratory system of minors has not yet formed. Inhaling such aerosols will cause adverse lung function. Improper use may also lead to various safety risks such as nicotine poisoning.

The circular clearly requires that e-cigarettes, as a supplement to traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes, have greater safety and health risks. In order to strengthen the social protection of the physical and mental health of minors, various market entities are not allowed to sell e-cigarettes to minors.

Although relevant departments have issued a notice prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, up to now, e-cigarettes can still be purchased at will through online shopping platforms, and there is no prohibition on the purchase and use of e-cigarettes by minors at any stage of the purchase. warning. In addition, my country has not yet made clear regulations on which public places are prohibited from smoking e-cigarettes.

However, according to the website of the National Standards Information Public Service Platform under the China National Standards Management Committee, the national standards for e-cigarettes and e-liquids have now entered the approval stage.

The two national standards for e-cigarettes and e-liquids are both the National Tobacco Standardization Technical Committee, the competent department is the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, and the drafting unit is also a tobacco system organization, and no e-cigarette company is involved.

Since electronic cigarettes are new things, although my country's existing tobacco control regulations have not included them in the scope of law enforcement, it can be seen that related issues have attracted the attention of relevant departments and have begun to promote them.
