Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Online shops to take e-cigarettes off shelves

Another decisive move to prevent teenagers from being addicted by harmful habits. Recently, China imposed gaming curfew on children under 18 between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am and set time limits as to how long they can play games a day depending on age.

Now, they forbid selling or promoting vaping products online. Just like other countries, the e-cigarette is becoming popular especially among young people. There are a wide variety of flavors that attract people who have never thought about smoking before. Also, vaping is not detected or found as distinctly as cigarette smoking because it doesn’t produce smoke or smell so much. However, the e-cigarette is as nicotine addictive as and no less harmful to health than conventional cigarettes. In fact, e-cigarette cartridges are filled with a liquid that may contain flavorants, nicotine, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or cannabinoid (CBD) oils and other harmful substances.

China is a nation full of long-term goals. One of them is to reduce the population of smokers from 26% now to 20% by 2030. To achieve that goal, no more e-cigarette ads, promotional videos, and sale sings disappear from China’s cyberspace. Onsite stores may flourish as desperate buyers flock with smartphones in their hands. (Please be reminded that smartphone payment is much more popular than cash in China.)

Enjoy reading the article and learn how decisively China moves to protect the health and wellness of its people, especially young teenagers.
