The future of the electronic cigarette industry
The negative news about vapes has recently come to the forefront, once again showing the twists and turns of the future of the vape industry. And most of them are large and well-known media releases, affecting hundreds of thousands and millions. Coupled with the fact that Hong Kong will completely block vapes, it will cover a cloud of darkness in the vape industry. Hong Kong will completely block the root cause of vapes this time, and it has a huge relationship with the rare part of the vape industry.
After learning more about it, I learned that Hong Kong will completely ban vapes this time, mainly because PBDEs are detected in smoke oil, which is a flame retardant. These chemicals can cause enlargement of the liver, affect the development of the brain, reproductive organs and neurological behavior and interfere with the level of thyroxine.
It is no wonder that the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Mrs Carrie Lam, stressed in the "Policy Report" that "electronic cigarettes are banned to protect the health of children and adolescents. Vapes are very harmful. Some studies have found that vapes can cause male infertility and even cancer."
Some companies said that when testing a well-sold imported e-liquid, the ingredients were analyzed and the substances and other substances that could not be added were detected.
Why add? Because it is not flame-retardant for flame retardant. The concentration of nicotine in E-liquid is high, and it is easy to deposit carbon paste core. Polybrominated diphenyl ether is added, which has the function of flame retardant and non-sticking. In fact, other substances can be used instead, but the cost will be higher. But in order to reduce costs, these companies are useless!
The twists and turns of the vape industry are due to the indiscriminate use of the vape industry, for the sake of self-interest, regardless of the safety of the industry and customers, ignoring product quality, and even adding harmful substances to e-liquid for sale, seriously jeopardizing the future of the vape industry.
The Hong Kong Government regards this individual phenomenon as an industry phenomenon and does not choose to strengthen supervision, but chooses a "one size fits all" approach! Entrusted Hong Kong Baptist University to only test 13 electronic cigarette components in the market, it is very sloppy and one-sided! Is it like a government that is rigorous in doing things?
It is very distressing to see a product that benefits the smokers being treated and treated like this. As a Chinese citizen, I have to say here: Hong Kong’s approach is simply taking the health of smokers seriously! The fact that vapes have been born for ten years tells us that vapes reduce the smoking hazards of smokers around the world and are products of the country and the people! Should be a baby, not a drug!
This incident is enough to warn and explain that protecting and maintaining the electronic cigarette industry is the responsibility and obligation of every vape practitioner! If you do it, you will only kill yourself! Not only killing themselves, but also negatively affecting the entire vape industry!
Yao Jide, executive vice president of the Electronic Commerce Committee of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, appealed, “I will pursue the taste and function, which will destroy the electronic cigarette industry. The use of materials and ingredients added by e-liquid must put “safety” First place! Please self-discipline!"
Last night, the Electronic Commerce Committee of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce issued a bulletin article on the official public number, "Strictly implement vape standards, improve consumer health and safety", and appendix "General Specification for Electronic Atomization Apparatus Products" and "Electronic Smoke Chemicals". The full text of the "standards" group standard can be described as the right time!
Since the national standards have not yet been introduced, all enterprises in the electronic cigarette industry have standardized their own behaviors, strictly implemented the current vape group standards, strictly abide by national laws and regulations, do not add harmful substances, do not produce counterfeit and shoddy products, and do not sell to underage. Vapes have reached the point where imperative is imperative! Not standardized production, even rice, drinking water are toxic, not to mention electronic cigarettes.
A very important reason behind the twists and turns in the vape industry is the distribution of benefits:
Vapes are not about health, but about the distribution of benefits. The date of finalization of the interest distribution may be the time when the vape turns over.
It is obvious that the danger of vapes is less than that of cigarettes. When income is almost the same, both the smokers should open a choice to help them quit smoking.
The distribution of benefits stems from the improvement of the law. In terms of vape taxation, countries all over the world are in a stalemate. This new thing directly challenges taxation policies.
The United Kingdom has drawn a 57% "sin tax" on vapes. This move was directly opposed by the vape association because "it is forcing people who have already quit to choose more harmful cigarette products. There is no benefit to health." The British Sun also called the move "meaningless."
It can be said that it is precisely because of the difficulty of taxation that the vape industry has been in a "grey zone", directly increasing the exposure of electronic cigarettes and the difficulty of science popularization, and even today's "non-smoking" incident in Hong Kong.
