Only by controlling vape sales channels can you control vape well
As a new type of tobacco product, vape has rapidly emerged on the market in recent years, but it has also brought many problems. In response to the chaos in the vape industry, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration has issued a series of management measures aimed at regulating the vape market and protecting consumer rights. Among them, the "Vape Management Measures" strictly control vape sales channels, which is a key link in ensuring the healthy and orderly development of the vape industry.
Article 18 of the "Vape Management Measures" clearly stipulates that those engaged in vape retail business must apply to the tobacco monopoly administrative department to obtain a tobacco monopoly retail license or change the scope of the license in accordance with the law. This regulation means that the vape retail business is no longer a simple market behavior, but has been included in the national tobacco monopoly management system and is subject to more stringent supervision. This measure will help standardize the order of the vape retail market and prevent criminals from using vape to conduct illegal operations.
Among the application conditions, meeting the requirements for a reasonable layout of local vape retail outlets is an important content. This means that the setting up of vape retail outlets is no longer arbitrary, but needs to comply with the planning and management requirements of the local government. This helps avoid vape retail locations being too dense or too scattered, ensuring fair competition in the market and convenient purchasing for consumers.
At the same time, Article 19 of the "Vape Management Measures" stipulates that vape production, wholesale, retail and other entities should conduct transactions through the national unified vape transaction management platform after obtaining a tobacco monopoly license. This regulation effectively eliminates the possibility of illegal transactions and private transactions, ensuring the legality and safety of vape products. Vape products that have not passed technical review must not be put on the market for sale. This regulation further protects the rights and interests of consumers and prevents substandard products from entering the market.
It is worth mentioning that the "Vape Management Measures" also stipulates that vape products on the market are not allowed to be exclusively operated. This means that vape retail stores cannot only sell products of a certain vape brand, but must ensure product diversity and selectivity. This regulation will help break brand monopoly and promote fair competition in the vape market.
Looking back at the development history of the vape industry, we can see that the tightening of regulatory policies is an inevitable trend. As early as 2019, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued a notice to completely close vape Internet sales channels. This measure effectively curbed the proliferation of vape on the Internet and protected the physical and mental health of minors. Nowadays, with the implementation of the "Vape Management Measures", the vape industry is gradually moving towards standardization and legalization.
Of course, for practitioners in the vape industry, this change is undoubtedly a huge challenge. They need to face more stringent regulatory requirements, complete tedious application processes, clear inventory and other tasks. At the same time, the implementation of new regulations may also have a certain impact on the job market. However, in the long run, these measures will contribute to the healthy development of the vape industry and provide consumers with safer and more reliable products and services.
In addition, with the implementation of regulatory policies, some small and medium-sized vape players may sadly withdraw from the market, while leading brands may increase their overseas presence. As the world's largest vape exporter, my country has strong manufacturing capabilities and market advantages. By strengthening international cooperation and exchanges, my country's vape industry is expected to achieve greater success in the global market.
In short, controlling vape sales channels is the key to managing vape well. Through strict supervision and standardized management, we can ensure the healthy and orderly development of the vape industry and provide consumers with safer and more reliable products and services. At the same time, we should also realize that vape, like cigarettes, is an addictive product. Smoking is harmful to health, and smoking control is the best way to prevent disease. Therefore, while promoting the development of the vape industry, we also need to strengthen public education, raise public awareness of the dangers of vape, and jointly create a healthy and civilized social environment.
