2023-03-07

On March 11, 2022, the "Administrative Measures for Electronic Cigarettes" issued by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration clearly stated that starting from May 1st, the sale of seasoning electronic cigarettes except tobacco flavors and electronic cigarettes that can be added by themselves.


Before the implementation of the new regulations, the most popular smoke bomb (liquid atomized) in the electronic cigarette market was more than a variety of fruit flavors.


However, the reporter of the "rule of law" discovered that the fruity electronic smoke that should have disappeared into a "cola barrel" and "milk tea cup" was popular among young people.


The "new style" in the eyes of some students in the eyes of electronic cigarettes


In the social circle of some students, smoking electronic cigarettes is regarded as a "new style". As early as 2015, a primary school teacher in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province broke the news that many students in the class were obsessed with a "sugar stick" toy that would spray fog. This "sugar rod" can spray white mist in a sip, which is actually an e -cigarette that adults absorb.


Subsequently, the media has always exposed the stationery stores and snack shops around the school to sell electronic cigarettes to students, including elementary students under 13 years old.


With a series of regulations on electronic cigarettes, this situation does not seem to decrease. Liu Ming (pseudonym), a 16 -year -old high school student, told the reporter of the "rule of law" that fruit electronic cigarettes are very popular among junior high school students. Some students believe that if there is no electronic cigarette in private in private, it will appear "no face". These fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes have no smell of smoke. Not only are they not easy to be discovered by parents and teachers, and some students are considered "cool" by some students.


The "Electronic Cigarette Marketing and Research Report on the Health of Youth" previously released by the Institute of Health Communication of Fudan University shows that in the surveyed teenagers, nearly half of the people who have started to absorb electronic cigarettes in the middle of 13 to 15 years old. And the most flavored flavors that have used electronic cigarettes are fruit flavors.


In addition, according to the "2021 Chinese Middle School Students and College Student Tobacco Popular Monitoring results" released by the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2022, among middle school students using electronic cigarettes, the most commonly used flavors are fruit flavors, accounting for 63.8%.


In addition to the student group, many young smokers also favors the electronic cigarettes of fruity.


Li Xia (a pseudonym) is a 8 -year -old smoker. From the moment of the birth of electronic cigarettes, she started buying. "I used to have a tobacco -flavor smoke bomb, but I never bought it." Although smoking, Li Xia does not like to make her clothes on her clothes. In her opinion, the flavor of the electronic smoke of fruit flavor is good. Come to trouble.


Among the number of electronic cigarette users interviewed by reporters, there are not a few people who have the same ideas as Li Xia. And many of them have not sucking paper cigarettes. The reason for choosing electronic cigarettes is just "spare" and "fun".


Sales channels are hidden


Before the implementation of the new regulations, many electronic smokers chose a lot of stocks in the face of fruit -flavored cigarette bullets that were about to be difficult to buy. Li Xia was one of them. But at the end of 2022, the goods she stored had been exhausted. Although many friends recommended her various micro -business and channels, she chose to quit smoking because she was afraid of being deceived.


For high school students Liu Ming, fruity electronic cigarettes have never disappeared in his life. "As long as you want to buy, you can always do it." Liu Ming told reporters that there are many "agents" among their classmates. They posted information on social platforms such as friends and Weibo to sell electronic smoke bombs.


According to Liu Ming's recommendation, the reporter added a seller. After explaining the intention, he provided a few pictures for reporters to choose from. Although these seasoning electronic cigarettes have different brands and flavors, they are almost "disposable" electronic cigarettes. According to product publicity posters, there are no Chinese signs on these electronic cigarette shells, and some popular flavors have been drawn out to be sold out.


The seller told reporters that these goods are "specifically for foreign trade" and have quality assurance. Although these posters are marked with the words "minors are prohibited to buy", the seller did not verify the age of the reporter. As long as the payment is paid, the address "wait for the receipt". In addition, the seller also told reporters that if it is the same city, it can also be delivered, "it can be received in about 2 hours."


On November 23, 2022, the State Tobacco Monopoly Agency and the State Post Bureau issued the "Notice on Limited Submitting for Electronic Tobacco Products, Moom, Electronic Tobacco and other tobacco -alkali". Chemicals), products sold by the combination of smoke and smoke (including disposable electronic cigarettes, etc.), smoke liquid and other atomizes and electronic smoke cigarettes. Each person is limited to one per day, and multiple delivery is not allowed.


When the reporter raised doubts, the seller vowed to say that he had "channels" and had to worry about not being able to receive the goods. He also told the reporter that "recently the limelight is relatively tight, the delivery will be two days later."


In fact, this type of electronic cigarette is not difficult to find on the Internet. The reporter searched for keywords such as "milk tea cups" on Weibo, and many people still posted to sell them. The micro -businessmen in the circle of friends will also use some emoticons to replace the vocabulary such as "smoke bomb", and some advertisement information even seems to be a secret code. "Only those who understand know what those friends are talking about, and they generally delete the circle of friends after they sell a batch. You can't find traces at all." Liu Ming said.


Quality is difficult to guarantee


The "Administrative Measures for Electronic Cigarettes", which was formally implemented from May 1, 2022, emphasized: "E -cigarette products should meet the national standards of electronic cigarettes."


Among these seasoning electronic cigarettes sold in Weishang and other network channels, there are almost no security signs such as production standards, and there are no factory sites and main components. Liu Ming told reporters that such so -called disposable electronic cigarettes also need to be charged. But compared to the cigarette rods produced by regular manufacturers, its battery is very unstable. "Some can be used normally, and some are charged once or twice."


For middle school students, a one -time smoke ammunition with a price of 169 yuan is not cheap, and it is replaced by some "flat smoke bombs" -the price of these smoke bombs ranges from 59 yuan/box to 99 yuan/box. There are 2 to 3 pieces, which are used with electronic cigarette rods. Liu Ming said that he and his classmates will buy these products, "generally depending on which type of seller is available."


"After the implementation of the new regulations, many manufacturers who previously produced seasoning smoke bomb could not be produced in the name of the brand. They used the" guerrilla warfare "method to produce a batch of names and rest for a while before continuing to produce." A name claims to be self -proclaimed. A Sixian (pseudonym), which has intersection with electronic cigarette manufacturers, said that these manufacturers were shot and replaced by a shot, and they were produced in the guise of "foreign trade exports". As a result, no Chinese can be seen on the outer packaging of these electronic cigarette bullets.


At the same time, many people on the social platform shared their bad experiences after buying inferior "three" electronic cigarettes. Most merchants who sell these products are mostly obedient for the reasons such as "you suck too hard" and "everyone bought". Most consumers know that such smoke bombs are not compliant, and they choose to swallow the sound.


Seasoning electronic cigarettes are more likely to form a carrier of new drugs


According to the relevant person in charge of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, electronic cigarettes are a special tobacco product that generally consists of cigarette oil and tobacco utensils. Yantou is mainly made of nicotine (nicotine) and is atomized for consumers to five to consumers through electronic tobacco utensils. As a supplement to traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes, electronic cigarettes have greater health and safety risks, especially damage to minors.


On March 23, 2022, the People's Court of Dongcheng District of Beijing tried to sell the drug cases that sold the e -oil oil (commonly known as the "electronic cigarette above") that sold the synthetic marijuana.


Police have received 129 disposable electronic cigarettes and 141 bottles of canned oil from a person involved in the case, including 896.77 grams of net weight of synthetic marijuana drugs. The Dongcheng District People's Court sentenced him to "fifteen years in prison, deprived of political rights for two years, and confiscated personal property of RMB 60,000."


The relevant person in charge of the Drug Division of the Public Security Bureau of the Yubei District of Chongqing City told the reporter of the "Law on the Weekend" that seasoning electronic cigarettes are also more likely to become the carrier of new drugs. On the one hand, the packaging of such electronic cigarettes is beautiful and cute, tastes good, and can easily attract the attention of young people. On the other hand, the e -cigarette oil oil is also easy to become a solvent for criminals to add drugs.
