The impact of vape policy on the market

In the past few years, the rapid development of the vape market has attracted widespread attention from society. However, due to the lack of supervision, there are many problems in the vape industry, such as unclear nicotine content, unknown added ingredients, e-liquid leakage, etc. This not only poses a potential threat to consumers' health, but also seriously affects the market order.

Against this background, the country has made major adjustments to its regulatory policies on vape. On November 10, 2021, the "Decision of the State Council on Amending the Implementation Regulations of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China" was officially announced and implemented, providing a clear legal basis for the supervision of new tobacco products such as vape. Subsequently, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration formulated the "Vape Management Measures" and will be officially implemented on May 1, 2022.

The introduction of this series of policies has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the vape market. Before the policy was introduced, the development of the vape market was chaotic and there were great hidden dangers. However, due to the lack of supervision and standards, vape has experienced crazy development for about 10 years. It can be said that before the introduction of supervision, the vape market was already in a mature stage. But now that supervision is coming, it will definitely have an impact on the already mature market. It caused a major impact, and could even be said to be a reshuffling of the market.

First of all, the standardization of the vape market has been significantly improved. The "Administrative Measures" clarified the license management of vape production, wholesale and retail entities, established a vape transaction management platform, and conducted channel management for vape sales. These regulations will effectively curb disorderly competition and illegal operations and further standardize market order.

Secondly, the quality of vape products is better guaranteed. The "Management Measures" manage the entire process of vape product quality and establish a vape product technical review and tracking mechanism. This will force companies to pay more attention to product quality and improve product safety, thereby protecting the interests of consumers.

However, vape policies also present some challenges. On the one hand, strict supervision may increase the operating costs of companies and put pressure on some small vape companies. On the other hand, policy changes may also cause panic and uncertainty in the market, leading to short-term market fluctuations.

Despite this, the implementation of the "Administrative Measures" has positive significance for the healthy development of the vape market and the protection of consumer interests. Only through standardized management and strong supervision can the vape market truly achieve sustainable development and create more value for society and consumers.
