In the latest news, British Health Minister Steve Barclay said the government is trying to do more to protect minors from vaping. He said he hopes to learn "lessons" from Australia's e-cigarette regulation, and has met with an Australian official - Australia has previously announced that it will ban recreational e-cigarette consumption and provide e-cigarettes only by prescription.

It is worth noting that British Health Minister Steve Barclay did not explicitly say that he would copy Australia's regulatory model. He insisted that British health officials want to strike a balance - ensuring that smokers can continue to use e-cigarettes to help them quit smoking.

He also emphasized that the British health department still insists that the risks caused by e-cigarettes are less than that of traditional tobacco, but as a new and developing field, people are constantly discovering some specific risks of e-cigarettes themselves.

On the other hand, Steve Barclay also revealed that the research on the marketing of e-cigarettes to minors was completed last week and is currently under study. He revealed that the health department is very concerned about issues surrounding disposable e-cigarettes, the allowable nicotine content, taste quality standards, and product packaging standards.

Among them, the British Minister of Health Steve Barclay also revealed an important piece of information. The British Revenue and Customs Administration will soon release the latest strategy against illegal tobacco products. It is not difficult to speculate that the UK will further control illegal e-cigarettes from the perspective of goods entry.
