Beijing also included vapes in tobacco control

Recently, Hangzhou revised their cigarette control regulations to include electronic cigarettes in the scope of tobacco control. The new tobacco control regulations will be implemented on January 1, 2019, which means that there are clear regulations that do not allow electronic cigarettes to be used in public.

In recent years, the contradiction caused by the use of electronic cigarettes in public places has emerged endlessly, and this contradictory double-feeling feels that the reasons are sufficient, but there are no clear rules to analyze this phenomenon. This time, Hangzhou directly controls the introduction of electronic cigarettes into cigarettes. After that, there is a practical factual basis for the handling of this phenomenon. With the beginning of Hangzhou, other domestic tobacco control cities will follow up.

In the past few days, the second meeting of the 15th Beijing Municipal People's Congress was held. At the second meeting of the 15th Beijing Municipal People's Congress, 13 representatives of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, such as Meng Lingyue, jointly proposed a motion to upgrade the tobacco control order and include electronic cigarettes in the scope of tobacco control.

The motion proposes that Beijing's tobacco control order was formulated four years ago and that the electronic cigarette was not formally included in the scope of tobacco control. At that time, smoking was not considered smoking. As the type of vapes has evolved and the number of users has grown, the tobacco control order of 4 years ago has lagged significantly, which does not match the image and determination of Beijing's indoor smoking ban.

Therefore, 13 representatives of the Municipal People's Congress jointly proposed that Beijing should upgrade the tobacco control order as soon as possible, and include vapes in the scope of tobacco control so that law enforcement officials can follow the law.

In an interview with the Beijing News reporter, Meng Lingyue also suggested that many smoking places in shopping malls and restaurants are currently in the export position. In and out of the market will still be harmed by second-hand smoke. He suggested that the smoking area be located far away from the exit. Avoid second-hand smoke hazards.

The use of electronic cigarettes is becoming more and more widespread, and the contradictions caused by it are becoming more and more serious. It is believed that the introduction of electronic cigarettes into the control of cigarettes will be a trend. In the future, there will be more places to include electronic cigarettes in control. Regardless of the hazards of vapes, their use in public places will always affect the surrounding population, so control will be the best measure to resolve this contradiction.
