With the increasing controversy over the use of electronic cigarettes by vape users in public, the positioning and control of vapes is urgently needed. What is the impact of vape control on vapes?

Every time we are controversial in public, we can find one thing in common, that is, everyone insists that they are right.

Vape users will think that vapes are not cigarettes. Second-hand smoke generated by vapes is harmless. It is a misunderstanding that the other party does not understand vapes. For example, e-liquids use E-liquid and E-liquid contains components. It is harmless, and the ingredients inside are basically independent of cigarettes, and try to convince each other.

The opponents believe that vapes are cigarettes, and their composition is similar to that of cigarettes. They will not pay attention to what E-liquid is, what ingredients are included, and psychologically think that it will produce harmful second-hand people, and think that electronics Smoke users do not care about everyone's feelings.

So is the new tobacco control policy having a big impact on the vape market?

We have reason to believe that the new tobacco control policy has little impact on the vape market. First of all, we can see from the market share that China's vapes only account for 3% of the global vape market, and electronic cigarette products manufactured in China. 90% of the sales are abroad. Even if China completely bans vapes, the impact on the global vape market will not be great.

Secondly, cigarettes have long been in the scope of tobacco control, but have contributed to reducing smoking rates? Obviously, the inclusion of electronic cigarettes in tobacco control can only reduce the harm of second-hand use, and it has no effect on reducing the use of electronic cigarettes.
