The secret sale of vape may always exist

Vape has risen rapidly in the market in recent years and has been welcomed by many consumers. However, as the country strengthens its supervision of vape, the online ban on the sale of vape has also begun to be implemented. Despite this, there are still many businesses selling vape products secretly on the Internet in various ways.

Recently, a survey found that although "vape" and other related products can no longer be directly searched on e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, many merchants sell vape products in disguise by changing keywords, such as using "electronic stick atomizer bombs" and other names. These merchants do not require buyers to provide any information to prove their age during the sales process, so minors can easily purchase these products.

The existence of this phenomenon is mainly due to the concealment of online sales and the difficulty of supervision. The openness and anonymity of online platforms allow merchants to easily circumvent regulation, and consumers' demand for products and pursuit of diversified tastes also promote the existence of these merchants.

In response to this situation, the latest vape express delivery restrictions may have a certain impact on online sales of vape. The control over vape express delivery is quite strict. There are strict limits on the number of vape, cartridges, and e-liquid that no one can send every day. However, judging from past experience, such control is expected to only increase the number of sellers and buyers. cost only.

If there are policies in the country, there will be countermeasures. Since individuals are restricted, sellers will just borrow someone else's name to send express delivery. They may even disassemble the accessories and express them in pieces. They are just plastic parts or metal parts. It's just a piece, you can't ask someone to express it.

There is also e-liquid, which is even harder to detect. You can just package the e-liquid directly into flavors and aromatherapy liquids. You can even decompose the e-liquid leaves and sell them separately as VG, PG, flavors, etc. , these are things that can be sold and delivered legally, so I personally think that these measures limit the express delivery channels of vape, increase the sales cost and difficulty for merchants, and may make it impossible for some small sellers to continue operating.

However, in order to completely put an end to the illegal sale of vape online, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and increase the cost of violating the law. At the same time, we need to strengthen consumer education and guidance to improve consumers' legal awareness and discernment capabilities. Only in this way can the physical and mental health of minors be truly protected, fair competition in the market and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers be maintained.

As the saying goes, you have policies and I have countermeasures. Both sellers and buyers are fighting against supervision. As long as there is market demand, the behavior of secretly selling vape will always exist, but we cannot give up supervision and efforts because of this. Only by adhering to the combination of crackdowns and guidance can we gradually reduce the occurrence of this kind of behavior and ensure the healthy and orderly development of the market.
