Crack down on the "three noes" e-cigarettes, promote the healthy development of the e-cigarette market, and the industrial and commercial departments hit hard

Recently, the economic inspection detachment of Beihai Administration for Industry and Commerce conducted surprise inspections on a number of e-cigarette sales stores near the school according to reports from parents, and withheld a total of 275 bottles of "three noes" e-cigarette oil and 23 e-cigarette sets suspected of having no Chinese logo on the outer package, no factory name and address, and no clear indication of the production date and shelf life.

"Where are your purchase receipts?" "We all place orders through." On the afternoon of November 29, in an e-cigarette sales store on Changqing Road, facing the inquiry of law enforcement officers, the person in charge of the store said that the e-cigarette set and tobacco oil products it represented were imported from abroad, and the customs entry formalities of the products were handled uniformly in Shenzhen, and presented the power of attorney of the brand tobacco oil manufacturing and sales company in San Francisco, California, A description of the composition of tobacco oil in both Chinese and English is also provided. The nicotine content of electronic cigarette oil is 1.2% per 12 mg, which is mainly composed of propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, natural flavor and artificial flavor. However, according to the on-site inspection of law enforcement personnel, most of these electronic cigarette oils named after various fruit flavors have no Chinese marks on their outer packaging, and can not find the name and address of the factory, production date and shelf life. They are suspected of selling illegal "three noes" products.

The reporter saw in various stores that the prices of these e-cigarettes ranged from hundreds of yuan, and the cigarette oil could be allocated by the clerk at will. It is understood that the electronic cigarette mainly depends on the atomizer. A heating component is started through the electronic air flow sensor. The smoke oil inside evaporates after heating to form smoke, and the smoke has a fruit flavor, which is very "good smell". Stores claim that it can achieve the effect of tobacco control and replacement. It is very popular in foreign and domestic big cities and is the first choice for people to quit smoking.

E-cigarette physical store

In Changqing North Road and Zhanqian Road, such e-cigarette or cigarette oil sales stores are very close to the school. Surrounding residents and businesses told reporters that young people like students often gather and smoke in the store. Some parents reported to the Administration for Industry and commerce that their children are addicted to these electronic cigarettes that claim to be harmless, and even take them to school for smoking. "Because they are fruit flavored, it is difficult for teachers to detect and supervise them." Although the school requires students not to enter such places, and there is a sign "minors are not allowed to enter" at the door of the store, the owners of these stores all said that it is difficult for some students who look more mature and do not wear school uniforms to distinguish their age and identity.

It is reported that China has signed the "Convention on the prohibition of the production of tobacco, candy and other products in kind that are attractive to minors", which was officially approved by the World Health Organization in 2003. However, due to the lack of constraints of industry norms and national standards, the Department of industry and commerce can only clean up and rectify e-cigarette products in accordance with the law of the people's Republic of China on product quality and other laws and regulations, that is, investigate and deal with "three noes" e-cigarette products such as "no Chinese logo, no factory name and address, and no clear indication of production date and shelf life".

According to statistics, in this rectification action, the inspection detachment withheld a total of 275 bottles of "three noes" electronic cigarette oil and 23 electronic cigarette sets suspected of having no Chinese logo on the outer package, no factory name and address, and no clear indication of the production date and shelf life. At the same time, law enforcement officials also called on schools and parents to strengthen correct guidance, enhance the identification and prevention ability of minors, and eliminate the physical and mental harm of e-cigarettes to minors through the joint efforts of all parties. The relevant person in charge said that the industrial and commercial department will continue to strengthen the regulation of the e-cigarette sales market and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
