Is banning flavored e-liquids a return to normalcy?
With the release of the "Vape" national standard and the "Vape Management Measures", the domestic vape market is ushering in an unprecedented change. From May 1, 2022, vape will only have tobacco flavor, and the once diverse e-liquid flavors such as fruits and beverages will withdraw from the market. This will undoubtedly bring a big shock to vape users.
As a new type of tobacco product, vape has been controversial since its introduction. Its biggest selling point is that it imitates the smoke effect of cigarettes and provides a variety of flavor options, thus attracting a large number of young users. However, this diverse flavor selection has also become the focus of vape being accused of inducing underage smoking. The ban on the sale of non-tobacco flavored vapes is precisely to respond to this social concern and protect the physical and mental health of minors.
For vape users, the variety of flavors is one of the important reasons why they choose vape. From strawberry snow ice to juicy grapes to peach oolong, there are endless vape flavor innovations to meet the taste preferences of different people. However, does banning non-tobacco flavored vapes mean that vapes will be significantly less attractive?
In fact, the appeal of vape is not just about taste. The anti-addictive effects of nicotine, the tar-free health promotion, and the fashion sense of vape as a new type of tobacco product are all the reasons why it is popular. Banning non-tobacco-flavored vapes may cause some users to switch to traditional cigarettes, but it will also prompt the vape industry to pay more attention to the health attributes and harm reduction effects of products, promoting the healthy development of the vape market.
The sweet taste is obviously more attractive, especially to ordinary people who do not smoke or minors. For these people, it is difficult for tobacco-flavored vape to attract them, and many of them will even be disgusted by this taste. However, vape using flavored e-liquid has all kinds of flavors you can think of. There will always be a flavor that can impress them and make them like vape. And these people are not smokers. Obviously, vape using flavored e-liquid We have gone astray.
Of course, banning non-tobacco-flavored vapes does not mean that the vape market will stop there. On the contrary, this may prompt vape companies to increase research and development efforts and launch more standard-compliant and healthier products. At the same time, the government also needs to strengthen supervision of the vape market to ensure the quality and safety of vape products.
In general, banning the sale of non-tobacco flavored vapes is an inevitable trend in the development of the vape market. This move will not only help protect the physical and mental health of minors, but will also promote the development of the vape market in a healthier and more standardized direction. For vape users, although the variety of flavors is limited, this will also be an opportunity for them to re-examine vape and choose a healthier lifestyle.
