vape is not a tobacco monopoly

Strictly speaking, vape is not equivalent to heating and non-burning tobacco products, but for many people outside the industry, the two are very similar in appearance and cannot be clearly distinguished. Vape is often confused with heating and non-burning tobacco products.

When the Local Tobacco Bureau investigated and dealt with the illegal operation of heating and non-burning smoke bombs, some unknown mass media reported with "XXX cracked the first illegal operation of vape case", further misleading more people. At the beginning of last year, the vape public account was specially written for popularization.

Coupled with excessive law enforcement in many places, offline vapes are also required to be delisted, forcing operators not to sell vapes. The vape operators are panicked and can't operate with peace of mind.

Recently, an operator who came to Guangdong to open a convenience store left a message on the official website of the Guangdong Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and asked two very representative questions: "Will the provincial bureau ask two questions, one is whether vape needs a license? The other is Is it legal for the frontline managers of local districts and counties to force the removal? "

The staff of Guangdong Tobacco Monopoly Bureau replied and made it clear that “vape is not a tobacco monopoly product and does not apply to the adjustment of the Implementation Regulations of the Tobacco Monopoly Law”. Based on this clear answer, it can be concluded that vape operations do not require a tobacco monopoly license.

The message board on the official website of Guangdong Tobacco Monopoly Bureau shows that the message time is April 14, 2020, and the response time is April 23, 2020. The staff also explained the answering unit at the end, "Replying Unit: Monopoly Office of Guangdong Tobacco Monopoly Bureau".
