The stores are basically closed in the sales of electronic cigarettes.

In the former electronic cigarette market, fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes are absolute mainstream. Only one brand can have dozens of flavors of smoke bombs, especially favored by minors. After the implementation of the new national standard, the varieties of electronic cigarettes that can be sold have fallen sharply, and the fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes that have been sought after are missing.

The sales staff of Wanling Huiyue carved electronic cigarette store told the new express reporter: "According to the requirements of the new national standard, all fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes have been removed in the store, and they will not be sold in the future." Fruit -flavored electronic cigarette bullet packaging, the packaging of electronic smoke bombs demanded by the new national standard is more streamlined, and the naming is simple. There are only two or three types of tobacco flavors to choose from under a single brand.

New Express reporters visited the business districts of Tianhe District and found that some electronic cigarette sales stores or brand counters have been closed or withdrawn, and some street shops also posted the words "transfer". In the store or counters, there are only five or six types of electronic cigarette products, and there are only two or three products.

Some merchants

The risk "increase the price and clear inventory"

Compared with the popular business district, a reporter from the New Express visited the village market in some urban villages and found that many merchants have not given up on sale for the banned fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes.

"These are the inventory that I stayed before. After October, we can no longer get new goods. If someone buys, we will continue to sell." Said the cigarette bomb of the brands such as pleasing, magic flute and other brands. In the store, there are still more than 20 kinds of fruit -flavored electronic cigarette bullets on the shelves. The price of smoke bombs is consistently level, and it has not rushed to reduce prices because of the new rules. When asking whether there is a new national tobacco -flavored smoke bomb, the clerk said that they have not yet ordered the corresponding goods.

In a certain e -cigarette brand specialty store in the market, although I saw only the new national tobacco -flavored smoke bomb on the shelves, when asking and whether there is a fruit -flavored smoke bomb, the sales staff secretly displayed from the mobile phone from the mobile phone. A list of inventory, which says a variety of fruit -flavored cigarette bombs that can be selected. Some of the flavors cut off by the red line indicate that there is no inventory, and those who have not been cut off are still.

On the Fumanjia Supermarket on Rulin Street, the reporter easily bought a cigarette bomb frozen in the watermelon flavor. On this mobile commodity frame called "Yue Ke", there are mung bean popsicles, cola ice, Gongfu Guanyin, etc. 14 smoke bombs with various flavors.

Subsequently, a reporter from the New Express asked the boss if he had fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes for sale in some convenience supermarkets.

A private message received by the reporter showed that some agents have released the signal of fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes and reminding stocks since mid -September, and said: "The store testing has been withdrawn the headquarters, November 1st, November 1st, November 1st, November 1st, November 1st, November 1st, November 1st, November 1st.

You can still buy fruit -flavored smoke bombs online

In addition to regulating offline stores, online electronic cigarette sales have also been banned. When a reporter from the New Express search for e -commerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com, the page will directly jump to the "Green Network Plan" interface and inform "no citizen, legal person or other organizations may not sell tobacco monopoly products through information networks" or display directly to display "or display directly. "No product", searching for multiple electronic cigarette brands and "electronic atomizers" and "atomized smoke mouth" and other keywords showed no related product search results.

But did the electronic cigarette really disappear online? The reporter used "electronic cigarettes" as the keyword to conduct QQ group search without results, but based on the name of electronic cigarette brands such as "pleasing" or "magic flute" as keywords, there will be a number of dozens to two hundred people. QQ group. After the reporter entered the group, it was found that some merchants sold fruit -flavored electronic smoke bombs in the group, and claimed that "first -hand manufacturers, guarantee genuine products, can record delivery videos."

In addition, social platforms such as WeChat and Weibo have also become an important channel for electronic cigarette sales. The reporter searched through WeChat to add a merchant selling electronic cigarettes. The merchant immediately sent various flavors of smoke ammunition maps, and said that "those who have inventory can be shipped." On the Douban platform, by searching for "smoking cessation" to join various smoking quitting teams, many merchants can also see various merchants sending various posts that sell electronic smoke and smoke bombs in the name of "quitting smoking".

New national standard product

You need to order through a unified platform

In addition to the "broken sweetness" of electronic cigarettes, according to the notice issued by the State Tobacco Monopoly Agency on September 29, starting from October 1, the e -cigarette market subject engaged in electronic cigarette production and operation shall obtain a tobacco monopoly license. Only the subject of the certificate can order through the national unified platform. New Express reporters found that most of the e -cigarette stores such as the most pleasing and Xuejia brands will place relevant licenses on the counter.

"After the new regulations, all electronic cigarette brands have no dealers, and they are handed over to Chinese tobacco sales companies to uniform sales." According to a owner of a convenience supermarket, it revealed. This means that starting in October, there is no more distribution agency in the electronic cigarette industry. Whether it is a manufacturer or a brand, they cannot directly face the sales of the sales. Tobacco transaction management platform is purchased. In the circulation session, electronic cigarettes are almost different from traditional cigarettes.

The reporter learned from the offline store that the order of the first new national standard products is still out of stock. At the Yue specialty store in Tianyu Plaza, the shelves have been empty, but the store is still not closed. The clerk said that he had ordered it, but he had not been delivered.

After the electronic cigarette management specifications, there are these concerns

You can still buy various fruit -flavored cigarette filters on the e -commerce platform

Some electronic cigarette consumers told the new Express reporter that the sale of fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes does not mean that electronic cigarettes cannot have other flavors other than tobacco. "The national standard stipulates 'should not make the product characteristic flavor show other flavors except tobacco', that is, electronic cigarettes can add fragrance additives, but your taste to users must be 'to smoke', like traditional cigarette fragrance types It can be divided into six types of fragrance type, strong fragrance, intermediate incense type, elegant fragrance, sweet flavor and mellow fragrance type. Among the national standard white list, 101 additives are allowed, and electronic cigarettes will also have a lot of room for research and development in the future. of.

In addition, consumers revealed to reporters that cigarette filters of various fruit flavors can be bought on some large e -commerce platforms. These filters are covered on traditional cigarettes, which can make cigarettes inhale with fruit aroma. Some tutorials that can be found on the Internet to modify the filtering mouth to electronic cigarettes, allowing consumers to continue to enjoy the new "fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes". Perhaps in the future, there will be merchants who will launch fruits suitable for electronic cigarettes according to market demand in the future. Taste filter.

It's not difficult to buy electronic cigarettes online for minors to buy electronic cigarettes online

Earlier, the relevant provisions of the electronic cigarettes clearly made it clear that merchants could not sell electronic cigarettes to minors. Once offline stores were found, they would be severely punished. However, the reporter's visit and investigation is still worrying. Although most of the electronic cigarette stores have clearly stated that the signs of the minors prohibited from purchasing, the settings of many identity verification systems are still in form.

What's more noteworthy is that if a minor wants to buy electronic cigarettes online, as long as the other party WeChat or QQ is added, the transaction can be performed online. Under the circumstances of whether the mobile phone is an adult or a minor, the merchant will send the electronic cigarette to the home through express delivery.

Some merchants design the electronic cigarette protective cover as a fashion toy to sell

The reporter searched on e -commerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com and found that many merchants designed the protective cover of electronic cigarettes as fashion toys to sell, making students feel cool to wear, diluing the attributes of "smoke".

Q: "Administrative Measures for Electronic Cigarettes" and "Electronic Cigarette Mandatory National Standards" have been implemented one after another, what does it mean?

The store said: Electronic cigarettes have been put on the "tight hoop" since then

Recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision and Management and the National Standardization Management Committee approved the release of the "Electronic Cigarette Mandatory National Standards" (hereinafter referred to as the "New National Standard of Electronic Smoking"), and officially took effect on October 1, which means that fruit -flavored electronic cigarettes will be officially officially official Forbidden sale, related smoke rods will also have children's locks and eye -catching prompts.

Zhang Fei, who is engaged in electronic cigarette sales, told the new express reporter that on the one hand, the "new national standard of electronic cigarettes" has established technical standards for the industry, and on the other hand, it can also be said to wear a "tight circle" for electronic cigarettes. It proposes the era of publicity and transparency and must be complied with the standards of electronic cigarette taste, safety and minor protection, marking the era of electronic cigarette supervision of "benchmarking and being regulated".

Q: Why is it a "fruit flavor" popular circle?

Confusion: "Taste addiction" causes electronic cigarettes to be excessively used

Under the camouflage of technology, electronic cigarettes once put on "healthy" and "non -toxic" coats to attract young consumer groups, and fruit flavor is the biggest cause. It is regarded as a representative of the trend and followed suit. The electronic cigarette stores at the end of the street, various fruits, beverages, tea -flavored atomization ammunitions are endless. The confusion of "this smoke is not the other smoke" can also cause "taste addiction" and cause electronic cigarettes to be excessively used.

"Electronic cigarettes are more addicted than tobacco, and there are the same health hazards." Xiaolu, who often uses electronic cigarettes, compares this. Electronic cigarettes usually have a lot of flavors, so they are also called seasoning electronic cigarettes because they need to be adjusted and out. The unique taste naturally adds some chemical ingredients. Not only that, there are also carcinogens such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the release of electronic cigarettes. Tobacco unique nitrosamine, heavy metals and other harmful substances. Long -term use of releases will adversely affect the lungs.

"The most obvious feeling is that regardless of the smoke or tobacco, there will be dry throat and cough, but in contrast, electronic cigarettes are indeed more popular with young people." Xiaolu revealed. The following data also confirms this phenomenon from the side: In November 2019, the Shenzhen Tobacco Control Office organized a survey of the first youth tobacco of tobacco in Shenzhen. The results showed that the rate of smoking in Shenzhen students was 2.5%, which was higher than the rate of smoking (2.3%).

It is particularly vigilant that students who do not smoke are asked "if good friends will accept cigarettes", their acceptance of electronic cigarettes is 14.7%, which is much higher than 5.8%of cigarettes.

The results of the 2019 Chinese Middle School Tobacco Survey released by the China Disease Control and Prevention Center showed that about 347 counties (cities, districts) in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) across the country, and about 290,000 students were investigated. Decrease, the use of electronic cigarettes has increased significantly.

How to break?

Starting this month, levy consumption tax on electronic cigarettes

In addition, the reporter learned that the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Administration of Taxation recently issued an announcement that it would levy consumer tax on e -cigarettes from November 1, with a tax rate of 36%(production)+11%(wholesale). With the implementation of the two major regulatory measures of the "Administrative Measures for Electronic Cigarettes" and "Electronic Cigarette Mandatory National Standards", it also means that the supervision of electronic cigarettes has gradually aligned with traditional tobacco. The consumption tax is further clarified to clarify the legal identity of electronic cigarettes and provide guarantees for the next business activities of the enterprise.

The opening of electronic cigarette consumption tax will inevitably increase the cost of electronic cigarette consumers. A person in the industry calculated that it assumed that the production price was 20 yuan, and at a tax rate of 36%, the tax burden was 7.2 yuan; assuming the wholesale price was 100 yuan, calculated at a tax rate of 11%, the tax burden was 11 yuan, and the total of the two was 18.2 yuan. Under the premise that the electronic cigarette products do not actively reduce the price, the tax burden is eventually borne by consumers.
