Inferior e-liquid needs to be solved urgently
In 2019, the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued a notice that in order to protect minors from vape, market entities are not allowed to sell vape to minors. In fact, there has always been a problem with the use of vape by minors. Although the announcement has been issued for several years, it has not solved the problem of vape use by minors. Therefore, before the problem is solved, should we solve the problem of vape first? Another problem is the problem of inferior e-liquid, which directly harms the user's body and cannot be ignored.
It is impossible to prevent minors from buying vape. This is not only impossible for enterprises, but also for government departments. Cigarettes are an obvious example. Cigarettes have always been controlled, but the problem of minors smoking cigarettes Whether it has been solved or reduced, the answer is no, because it is impossible to do it at all. It is obviously irresponsible to vape minors.
Minors are most attracted by Xinyi things, so it is only natural that the biggest audience of vape is minors. There is a long way to go to prevent minors from using vape. It is definitely not something that can be solved by a company or government, because there is a major loophole when purchasing vape. For example, minors can buy vape through adult friends. is completely unavoidable.
In the past, if you opened an official website for vape sales, you only needed to click on "18 years old", and you could buy directly without any review requirements. On the e-commerce platform, there is no hint for minors at all, and there are even many shops selling under the guise of health.
At the same time, due to cognitive problems, minors are also the biggest victim group of inferior e-liquids. The reason why minors buy vape is because they are curious, so they don't care much about the quality and taste of e-liquid, they care more about the price, so most of the e-liquid is bought by these minors .
Where does the inferior e-liquid come from? e-liquid is a mixture of food-grade flavors, glycerin, propylene glycol and nicotine. This is a physical mixture, so the main factor that produces inferior e-liquid is the raw materials. For example, small workshops like to use cheap non-food flavors. , glycerol and propylene glycol are used as raw materials, and the small workshop does not have the dust-free workshop that only regular e-liquid manufacturers have, so the hygiene is also worrying. How can the e-liquid produced in this state not be inferior.
The sword is about to be unsheathed, the supervision of the domestic vape industry has been implemented one after another, and the threshold is gradually increasing. Small workshops producing inferior e-liquids are bound to be completely swept away. That way, even if the issue of vape use by minors isn't resolved, it's not that urgent.
