Flavored vape banned because of teens?
The country will implement the "Compulsory National Standard for Vape" from October 1, 2022, which means that all fruit-flavored vapes will be removed from the shelves, and the vape transaction management platform will be unified across the country. Only national-standard tobacco-flavored vapes will be provided and equipped with child locks. The implementation of this standard is very timely and necessary, because the harm of vape to young people does not need to be emphasized too much. Even without nicotine, the harmful substances in vape, such as propylene glycol and glycerin, will cause far more harm to the growth and development of brain functions than imagined. Therefore, the implementation of this standard is of great significance for protecting the physical and mental health of young people.
In fact, in recent years, the smoking rate of junior high school students has shown a clear downward trend, but the use rate of vape has risen sharply, and teenagers have become the main body of vape consumption. Both "vape" and "vaping stick" are dangerous products that ignore the health of young people for the sake of profit. To attract young people by taking advantage of young people's lack of ability to distinguish and accept new things, adding additives, changing tastes, and changing the color of e-liquid. According to data, there are currently more than 140,000 vape-related companies in my country. Such a huge production scale and production capacity will not disappear easily. Therefore, how to protect future teenagers from vape is a very urgent issue.
In order to completely solve this problem, schools, families and society should take the initiative to take responsibility. Education guides to face up to the harm and subtly educate young people. As long as the final result is to persuade young people to stay away from vape, all the efforts and efforts are worthwhile. In addition, the regulation of industries and platforms also plays a pivotal role. In addition to cleaning up those advertisements that blatantly lure teenagers, relevant punitive measures are also needed to resolutely block the way for minors to buy vape.
Today, the explosive growth of the vape industry is not unrelated to the strong market demand. Both the lack of supervision and the lag of supervision have unshirkable responsibilities.
Of course, keeping teenagers away from vape requires the joint efforts and cooperation of the entire society. Government departments can take action from multiple aspects, strengthen legislative supervision, formulate stricter regulations, conduct stricter supervision on the vape industry, and punish those companies and individuals who violate regulations. At the same time, the government can also increase publicity efforts to popularize the dangers of vape to the public through various media, so that more people can understand the dangers of vape and refuse to accept vape.
In addition, schools and families also need to play an important role. Schools can help students better understand the dangers of vape and how to refuse vape by offering health courses and organizing health promotion activities. Parents can communicate with their children to let them understand the dangers of vape and teach them how to refuse vape.
In addition, the vape industry itself needs to reflect. As an emerging industry, the vape industry needs to get rid of the blind pursuit of profit in the past, and put the protection of users' health in the first place. Vape companies should strengthen self-regulation, refuse to sell vape to minors, consciously abide by relevant laws and regulations, and continuously improve product quality and safety.
Finally, each of us needs to pay attention to the harm of vape, especially the harm to young people. Consciously refusing to accept vape is not only to protect our own health, but also to make more people aware of the harm of vape. Let us work together for the future. Work hard to live a healthy life.
