What is the definition of electronic cigarette? What are the characteristics? The most authoritative and professional official explanation has come

For a long time, the definition of e-cigarette in the industry is relatively general and amateur, and there has been no unified, authoritative and professional explanation.

So, what exactly is an e-cigarette?

Baidu Encyclopedia defines e-cigarette as an electronic product that imitates cigarette, with the same appearance, smoke, taste and feeling as cigarette. It is a product powered by rechargeable lithium polymer battery to drive the atomizer. By heating the smoke oil in the oil tank, it turns nicotine into steam and allows users to suck it.

Recently, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau finally gave the latest, authoritative and professional explanation in the draft of the national standard for e-cigarettes and the measures for the administration of e-cigarettes.

The draft of the national standard for electronic cigarette stipulates that electronic cigarette is a nicotine electronic transmission system, which is used to produce nicotine containing aerosol for human suction.

Combined with other provisions in the national standard of e-cigarette, it can be concluded that the officially defined and recognized e-cigarette has the following characteristics:

E-cigarette is a kind of flavor that should not induce the product to minors, that is, e-cigarette products do not include other fruit flavors except tobacco and mint flavors.

In addition, the draft of the measures for the administration of e-cigarettes stipulates that e-cigarettes are electronic transmission products that produce nicotine containing aerosols for human suction. Electronic cigarette products included in the regulatory scope mainly include cigarette bombs, cigarette sets, products sold in combination with cigarette bombs and cigarette sets, nicotine for electronic cigarettes, etc.

It is worth noting that the measures for the administration of e-cigarettes also stipulates that products that do not contain nicotine or similar e-cigarettes that are not used to transmit nicotine shall not be nominal e-cigarettes, and the packaging shall be clearly marked with "this product does not contain nicotine (nicotine)" or "this product is not used to transmit nicotine (nicotine)".
