China’s Decision to Regulate Vaping Products Has Global Implications
“China revealed on November 26 that it would officially regulate vaping products under its tobacco monopoly law.
The decision has massive implications for tobacco harm reduction worldwide: China is both the largest tobacco market and the largest e-cigarette producer on Earth. The country previously imposed restrictions on vapes, and some observers feared a crackdown on the industry. Now, vaping has a legal status in China that should secure its future.”
Comment: Although Thailand and many other countries ban or restrict vaping, China’s support for the vaping industry ensures many adverse health consequences in and outside China.
