Global cofferdam electronic cigarette
Smoking is harmful to health, and this common sense needs to be refreshed.
E-cigarettes are also harmful to health, and governments around the world have picked up supervisory hammers, sold their hands on e-cigarettes, or restricted sales, or directly banned them. At the same time, the A-share electronic cigarette leading company has evaporated 7 billion yuan in four days.
In just one week, the electronic cigarette was criticized again.
The latest hammer comes from India.
According to a report on the New Delhi TV website on the 18th, Indian Finance Minister Sitaraman said that it will ban the production, manufacture, import, export, transportation, sale, storage and advertising of electronic cigarettes in India.
Sita Raman said that in view of the impact of e-cigarettes on people’s health, especially on adolescent health, a decree will be enacted to completely ban e-cigarettes. Talking about the dangers of e-cigarettes, Citalamman quoted data from the United States as saying that the use of e-cigarettes among U.S. students increased by 77.8%. Surprisingly, the proportion of middle school students who smoked e-cigarettes rose by 48.5%. Currently, nearly 3 million people in the United States regularly smoke e-cigarettes, a nine-fold increase from the data between 2011 and 2016. More than 100 million smokers in India are the second largest group of smokers in the world. The ban on electronic cigarettes is also to control the growth of the number of potential smokers.
The decree stipulates that the first-time violation of smokers will be imprisoned for one year and a fine of 10,000 rupees (about 995 yuan). The decree is currently awaiting approval by the parliament in November.
The second hammer is from the United States.
The US Department of Health and Human Services announced on September 11 that its Food and Drug Administration will issue regulations in the next few weeks to ban the sale of non-tobacco-flavored e-cigarette products to control the trend of e-cigarette smoking among young people.
US President Trump said in the White House that there are serious cases of lung disease related to e-cigarettes in the United States, which currently kills 6 people and hundreds of people. As a parent of adolescent son, he and Melaniya are very worried.
When Trump spoke, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acting director, Sharpris, was also present. US Health and Public Services Minister Aisa was asked about the ban schedule and said it would be announced in the coming weeks.
Aisa said that after the new guidelines are announced, “the effective date may be delayed by about 30 days.” He said: “At this stage, in addition to the taste of tobacco, all scented electronic cigarettes will have to be removed from the market.”
The third hammer is from China.
This year’s 3·15 nights will be named e-cigarettes, revealing its potential harm. According to the program, e-cigarettes also release harmful substances, which are harmful to smokers and passive smokers. Long-term use of e-cigarettes also produces dependence on nicotine.
The program pointed out that members of the World Health Organization believe that if e-cigarettes are smoked, the probability of smoking later is twice that of non-smokers. Electronically liquefied propylene glycol, electronic cigarettes also contain related substances that harm the respiratory tract of smokers. Long-term use of electronic cigarettes also produces dependence on nicotine.
On August 28 last year, the State Administration of Markets and the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau jointly issued a circular requesting that the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors be prohibited to protect minors from e-cigarettes. The notice pointed out that minors have significant health and safety risks when smoking electronic cigarettes.
Under three consecutive hits, e-cigarettes have been “encircled” around the world.
As we all know, China is the world’s largest tobacco consumer and producer. China’s annual tobacco consumption is equivalent to the sum of tobacco consumption in all countries ranked 2-29. Every year, Chinese smokers consume about 50 million boxes of cigarettes, accounting for 44% of the world tobacco market.
