Shenzhen Tobacco released the e-cigarette random inspection plan, 14 inspection basis to crack down on non-national standard products
Recently, according to the relevant provisions of the "Implementation Rules for Quality Supervision and Spot Inspection of Electronic Cigarette Products", Shenzhen Tobacco Monopoly Bureau formulated and issued the "Shenzhen Electronic Cigarette Product Quality Supervision and Spot Inspection Plan for the First Half of 2023" ("Plan" for short), "Plan 》Determined 14 inspection criteria for vaping nicotine, vaping 2,3-butanedione, vaping heavy metals, vaping additives, and e-cigarette emissions. The "Plan" stated that after inspection, all the inspection items meet the standard requirements, and the spot-checked products are judged to be qualified; any of the inspection items does not meet the standard requirements, and the spot-checked products are judged to be unqualified. At the same time, the sampling of e-cigarette products also distinguishes bomb-changing products and disposable e-cigarette products. In the past 2022, relevant policies such as "E-cigarette Management Measures" and "E-cigarette" mandatory international policies have been promulgated and implemented one after another, opening a new era of compliant development of e-cigarettes. Especially under the requirements of protecting minors from tobacco infringement and the development of industry norms, from October 1, 2022, policies and regulations explicitly prohibit the sale of flavored e-cigarettes other than tobacco flavors and e-cigarettes that can add their own vaping substances . However, in the early days of the implementation of the regulatory policy, fruit-flavored e-cigarettes were banned repeatedly, and a large number of disposable e-cigarette products with "milk tea cups" and "coke cans" appeared on the market. Previously, the Nandu Electronic Cigarette Industry Observation Research Group visited convenience stores and wholesale markets in Shenzhen and found that these electronic cigarettes, which are collectively referred to as "milk tea cups" without marking the manufacturer and date, can be sold in popular business districts, It can be easily sold in convenience stores in downtown. From the perspective of consumers' physical safety, do these "milk tea cups" meet the standard requirements? Is it harmful to the human body? On January 17 this year, the Nandu Electronic Cigarette Industry Observation Research Group purchased samples of "milk tea cups" from the market and sent them to Shenzhen Institute of Metrology and Quality Inspection. Among the 7 samples purchased this time, 4 brands were involved, covering "popular" flavors such as cola, lemon, orange soda, and strawberry. Each sample was tested for 2,3-butanedione, cinnamaldehyde, toluene, and benzene The content of common atomized pollutants such as formaldehyde, and the content of heavy metals such as lead and nickel in the emissions. The results showed that among the 7 "milk tea cup" samples, different levels of heavy metals such as lead and nickel were detected from their emissions; some samples were detected with 2.3-butanedione and cinnamaldehyde, which far exceeded the national standard or group standard for fog Requirements for chemical impurities and pollutants. The results showed that 2.3-butanedione, cinnamaldehyde and other substances were detected in some "milk tea cup" products, the highest exceeding the standard by 80 times. Obviously, the Shenzhen Tobacco Bureau's release of the e-cigarette spot check plan will severely crack down on non-national standard products on the market, which will help promote the healthy and compliant development of the industry. According to the "Rules for the Implementation of E-cigarette Product Quality Supervision and Sampling Inspection", if there is an inspection conclusion in the results of supervision and random inspection that the product is determined to be unqualified, after being reviewed by the tobacco monopoly administrative department of the State Council, the transaction of the same product on the e-cigarette trading management platform will be stopped immediately. At present, the supervision and law enforcement of e-cigarettes is showing a thunderous trend. Recently, in the rectification of flavored e-cigarettes such as "milk tea cups" and "coke cans" carried out by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, 593 cases of "milk tea cups" and "coke cans" were investigated and dealt with, 84 criminal cases were involved, and 188 people were prosecuted. 723,800 "milk tea cups" and "coke cans" were seized, involving a total amount of 507 million yuan. 12% of young people in French-speaking Switzerland regularly smoke e-cigarettes Compiled by Wang Wenjie from "Tobacco Newsletter" Editor: Sun Hao A study by Unisante surveyed 1,362 young people in French-speaking Switzerland, 59% said they had smoked e-cigarettes at least once, and 12% said they used e-cigarettes regularly. Of those surveyed, 59 percent used vaping products when they were out at night, and 40 percent used them at home. 63% of the respondents like e-cigarettes, and 30% think e-cigarettes are convenient to use. Disposable e-cigarettes were the most popular choice among local youth, with 49.4% of respondents saying their parents knew they used the products.

The correct way to charge e-cigarettes
Now more and more people use e-cigarettes, but not everyone who uses e-cigarettes knows the correct charging method of e-cigarettes. Today, I will tell you the correct way to charge e-cigarettes. Most e-cigarette consumers now use refillable e-cigarettes. The charging interface of this type of e-cigarette is basically the same as that of Android phones. Like Android phones, mid-to-high-end e-cigarettes are basically Type-C Interface, the entry-level version may be a USB interface; of course, some entry-level electronic cigarettes still use the Type-C interface. Since it is the same as the charging interface of the Android mobile phone, can we use the charging interface of the mobile phone to charge the e-cigarette? The answer is: no. We all know that the charging power of Android mobile phones is basically around 30 to 50 watts, and the charging power of some high-end or flagship models is as high as 70 to 80 watts, or even over a hundred watts. And this charging power is far beyond the charging power that the electronic cigarette can withstand. The charging power of the electronic cigarette basically does not exceed 10W. If we use the charging connector of the mobile phone to charge the electronic cigarette, it is very likely to burn out the protection circuit in the electronic cigarette. , serious may even cause an explosion. Therefore, the correct way to charge the refillable e-cigarette is to charge it through a power bank or a USB port on a computer or notebook, which may be slower but safe. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned replaceable electronic cigarettes with built-in lithium batteries, there are also some electronic cigarettes that use 16850 or 20700 or 21700 batteries. This type of e-cigarette with an external battery will have a higher output power, up to 300W, such as the WIMEC RX300 Box Mod. For this type of electronic cigarette, we can also use the above charging method; of course, if you want to charge more, you need to buy the corresponding charger.

On the evening of February 1, Smol International (06969.HK) issued a performance forecast. In 2022, the company's total comprehensive income for the period will be 2.305 billion yuan to 2.817 billion yuan, compared with 5.287 billion yuan in the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 46.7% to 56.4 billion yuan. %; adjusted net profit was 2.385 billion yuan to 2.897 billion yuan, compared with 5.443 billion yuan in the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 46.8% to 56.2%. Smol International's stock price will fall by about 70% in 2022 Smol International is the world's largest manufacturer of electronic atomization equipment. Its main business is OEM production for global electronic cigarette brands, providing atomization technology solutions, including electronic atomization equipment based on ODM manufacturing heat-not-burn products and Electronic atomization components. However, under the global tobacco control ban and the continuous strengthening of e-cigarette regulatory policies in various countries, the development prospects of e-cigarette companies are facing challenges. Taking my country's regulatory policy on the electronic cigarette industry as an example, since 2022, relevant policies and rules such as the "Administrative Measures for Electronic Cigarettes", "Electronic Cigarette" Mandatory Regulations, and Electronic Cigarette Consumption Tax have been implemented one after another, and the electronic cigarette industry has entered a period of comprehensive supervision. new stage. For e-cigarette companies, they need to face business adjustment and transformation under regulatory policies. Regarding the decline in performance, Smol International explained that first, the revenue from the Chinese market and the US market in the 2022 fiscal year will decline; The relatively low one-time atomization business has grown significantly, and its proportion in the overall business has increased; the third is the continuous increase in R&D investment, especially in the basic research of atomization technology, investment in medical and health fields, and the 2022 financial The annual R&D expenditure has increased significantly compared with the same period of the previous year.

4 major trends in the development of the electronic cigarette industry in 2022
iiMedia Research, a world-renowned third-party data mining and analysis organization in the new economic industry, released the "2021-2022 Special Research Report on the Development Trend of the Global Electronic Cigarette Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). The report shows that in the past three years, the global e-cigarette retail sales have maintained a rapid growth trend. Made in China leads global e-cigarette technology innovation and is sold in more than 200 countries and regions. 01. HNB has become the main development direction of developed countries in the United States and Japan According to the report research, according to the general standards of the international market, e-cigarette products are generally divided into two main directions: atomized e-cigarettes and HNB (heat not burn). However, China`s definition of e-cigarettes only mainly includes two categories: atomized e-cigarettes and solid e-cigarettes. Tobacco products such as heated cigarettes that are directly processed and manufactured by tobacco are included in cigarette management and do not belong to e-cigarettes. In terms of market size, the compound growth rate of the retail volume of the global atomized electronic cigarette industry from 2018 to 2021 will be 18.6%, and the retail volume will reach 42.44 billion US dollars in 2022. The retail scale of the global HNB industry has a compound growth rate of 58.4% from 2018 to 2021, and the retail scale is expected to reach US$31.37 billion in 2022. The degree of support and development stage of HNB products vary from country to country. The country with the most mature development is Japan, where 30% of smokers have completed the conversion to HNB products. Tobacco giant Philip Morris International officially announced that it will stop selling cigarettes in Japan within 10 years. As of the end of 2020, the total number of IQOS (Philip Morris International HNB brand) users worldwide is about 17.6 million, of which 12.7 million users have completely switched to IQOS and successfully quit smoking. 02. Harm reduction is the core demand of tobacco evolution According to the report`s survey on Chinese consumers, the highest smoking frequency among Chinese traditional tobacco consumers is one pack every two or three days (43.1%), and 49.7% have reduced their smoking frequency in the past year; over 90% of Chinese traditional tobacco consumers 77.9% of those who have thought about quitting smoking have tried it, and only 23.8% quit smoking successfully. The most important reason why consumers want to quit smoking is that they are worried about endangering the health of family and friends around them (77.1%), followed by worrying about affecting their own health (74.1%). Analysts believe that almost all Chinese traditional tobacco consumers have the idea or action to quit smoking. Unfortunately, only about 20% have successfully quit smoking. Quitting cigarettes is an urgent need for domestic traditional tobacco consumers. Survey data show that over 70% of Chinese cigarette consumers know about and are interested in e-cigarettes. Consumers are most interested in the auxiliary effect of e-cigarettes on smoking cessation (74.6%), followed by the fact that e-cigarettes are fashionable and interesting (67.2%). 83.0% of Chinese e-cigarette consumers believe that e-cigarettes are helpful in reducing cigarette dependence, and 37.8% of solid e-cigarette consumers believe that they are obviously helpful for smoking cessation. 52.0% of consumers believe that e-cigarettes are healthier than cigarettes. However, the research report also pointed out that consumers have a relatively unified understanding of e-cigarettes in terms of replacing cigarettes or reducing cigarette dependence, and most people recognize their positive effects, but there are still large differences in the dangers of e-cigarettes. Nearly half of consumers think that its harm is the same or higher than that of cigarettes. This is related to the irregular development of the domestic e-cigarette industry. With the release of national standards and the gradual strengthening of supervision, the standards and cognition of electronic cigarette products will be unified. 03. China's manufacturing technology leads the world and dominates The data shows that the market size of China's e-cigarette industry continues to grow. In 2021, the domestic sales market will be 14.50 billion yuan, and the growth rate is expected to be 76.0% in 2022, with a market size of 25.52 billion yuan. The export market of China's e-cigarette industry is huge. In 2021, the export will reach 101.50 billion yuan. The growth rate is expected to be 63.4% in 2022, and the market size will reach 165.88 billion yuan. In 2021, China's e-cigarette industry will directly employ about 1.5 million people, and drive indirect employment of about 4 million people, for a total of about 5.5 million people. Statistics show that as of 2021, Chinese companies will manufacture more than 95% of the world's electronic atomization production capacity and sell them to more than 200 countries and regions. According to the IMS model, the potential market size of China's e-cigarette segments is estimated. Under the condition that the policy gradually improves the supervision of the e-cigarette market, it is estimated that the penetration rate of solid e-cigarettes in China will reach 3% to 5% in 2025 (the penetration rate of HNB will reach 15%) to 25%, of which solid electronic cigarettes accounted for about 20%), the potential market size is about 53.1 billion to 88.5 billion yuan, the penetration rate of atomized electronic cigarettes is 4% to 8%, and the potential market size is about 39.6 billion to 79.2 billion yuan Yuan. The research also shows that China has an advantage in the global e-cigarette industry, and Chinese manufacturing promotes the development of the industry through technological innovation. Domestic private e-cigarette brands such as RELX have been in the field of e-cigarettes for many years, and have achieved innovative results in product and material research and development, production technology, etc., which has driven the employment of personnel in the entire industry chain from research and development to sales. According to the survey data, 60.0% and 48.2% of Chinese e-cigarette consumers prefer RELX and Modi respectively. 04. The general trend of legalization and standardization of electronic cigarette industry iiMedia Consulting analysts believe that in order to ensure the long-term and sustainable development of the domestic e-cigarette industry, the release and implementation of national e-cigarette standards is the general trend. Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea have issued clear policy guidelines and regulatory measures for e-cigarettes, and the steady development of China's e-cigarette industry is speeding up the track of legalization and standardization. Since 2021, my country has successively issued and improved e-cigarette-related national standards and management methods, clarified that e-cigarettes are under the management of the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, and classified e-cigarettes as new tobacco products. Clarify the classification of atomized electronic cigarettes and solid electronic cigarettes, and promote the production and operation of the electronic cigarette industry to become more standardized. iiMedia Consulting analysts believe that the new regulations mean that e-cigarettes, as a new type of tobacco product, have officially obtained legal status at the national legal level. The implementation of the license will strengthen the supervision of the qualifications of the main players in the e-cigarette market from the source in the production, wholesale and retail links, which will greatly improve the chaotic and disorderly situation of hundreds of brands in the domestic e-cigarette market, and promote the leading players with research and development capabilities and technological innovation. All enterprises have developed steadily and orderly. The report pointed out that the current supervision of my country's e-cigarette industry is developing towards a standardized market with laws to follow and rules to follow. How to learn from the successful management experience of the world, through standardized management, and play the important role of the new economy and new formats in the national economy has become the main focus of all parties in the market.

Philip Morris to provide IQOS training for UK e-cigarette retailers
Philip Morris Ltd has hired more than 30 vaping managers and executives and is focused on encouraging UK vaping retailers to expand their product range to include IQOS, while providing adequate guidance and training on IQOS products. In 2021, the heated tobacco category will account for 18.6% of the total UK reduced risk products market. Kate O'Dowd, head of commercial planning at Philip Morris UK and Ireland, stressed that with the addition of heated tobacco products, the UK retailer has added a safer alternative to its existing range. He said, "Hundreds of independent vape shops in the UK now list heated tobacco products, adding an additional revenue stream to their business. With IQOS, retailers have an alternative option to supplement existing products - to provide customers with a real tobacco choice that is heated, not burned and less harmful than cigarettes. We firmly believe that a multi-category approach can accelerate the end of cigarette sales in the UK over the next 10 to 15 years Cynthia Chen Email: Cynthia@intl2.aierbaita.com Mobile/whatsapp/wechat: +8615751339879 Nannning Aierbaita company/ Shenzhen Aierbaita company

Two major international scientific journals publish articles supporting the harm reduction of e-cigarettes, which can significantly reduce the harm to the respiratory system
Recently, the two major tobacco giants, PMI and BAT, published research papers in top international medical journals. The results of the research show that new tobacco products such as e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn are less harmful and toxic than traditional cigarettes, and can significantly reduce the impact on the respiratory system. harm. As people's awareness of the dangers of smoking deepens, e-cigarettes are increasingly recognized by the public as a substitute for cigarettes. However, the long-term impact of flavored e-cigarette flavor mixtures and cigarette smoke on smokers remains to be further explored. Recently, PMI Philip Morris International published a research report "Assessment of inhalation toxicity of cigarette smoke and aerosols from flavor mixtures: 5-week study in A/J mice" in the British Journal of Toxicology "Journal of Applied Toxicolog", explaining the details of related topics Research steps and results. In the experiment, 87 male mice and 174 nulliparous and pregnant female mice were randomly assigned to 9 experimental groups, and conducted in the air, cigarette smoke, and e-cigarette aerosols with three different concentrations of flavorants, high, medium, and low. Exposure up to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 5 weeks was followed by necropsy, organ weight and histopathological assessment. The final test results showed that when mice were exposed to e-cigarette aerosols with and without flavorants, compared with those exposed to cigarette smoke, there were no significant changes in respiratory organs, nose, and laryngeal epithelial tissues, which indicated that e-cigarettes The sol is less irritating to the corresponding tissues and organs. The experimental results further prove that, compared with traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes can significantly reduce lung inflammation, as well as damage to the nose, throat and tracheal epithelium. BAT British American Tobacco published a research paper titled "An Experimental Analytical and In Vitro Approach to Bridge Between Different Heated Tobacco Product Variants" in the "Contributions to Tobacco & Nicotine Research" scientific journal, and conducted a research on THP (HNB products) Toxicology testing. In the experiment, aerosols and cigarette smoke of five variants of THP and one basic THP were used as the experimental environment, and the cytotoxicity was evaluated by the viability of human lung epithelial cells. The results showed that all cytotoxic reactions in the THP group were about 95% lower than those in the cigarette smoke group, and there was no significant difference in toxicity between the five variant THPs and the basic THP. According to the study, the development and supply of alternative tobacco and nicotine products are growing rapidly, consumers are increasingly accepting new products such as THP, and its safety and risk as part of toxicological assessment are worthy of industry attention. Only when the product meets the standards (including battery performance) can it better play its positive role as a public health strategy.

Two major international scientific journals have published papers advocating the harmlessness of e-cigarettes, which can significantly reduce the harm to the respiratory system
Two tobacco giants, PMI and BAT, recently published research papers in top international medical journals, showing that new tobacco products such as e-cigarettes and heating without burning are less harmful and toxic than traditional cigarettes, and can significantly reduce the harm to the respiratory system. While e-cigarettes are gaining popularity as an alternative to cigarettes amid growing public awareness of the dangers of smoking, the long-term effects of flavored e-cigarettes and cigarette smoke on smokers remain to be explored. PMI Fleming International recently published a report "Assessment of inhalation toxicity of cigarette smoke and aerosols" in the British Journal of Applied Toxicolog from flavor mixtures: 5-week study in A/J mice ", detailed research procedures and results of related topics are expounded. In the experiment, 87 male mice and 174 pregnant female mice were randomly assigned to 9 experimental groups. They were exposed to e-cigarette aerosol with three different concentrations of flavor agents, including air, cigarette smoke and high, medium and low concentrations, for up to 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 weeks. After that, autopsy, organ weight and histopathological evaluation were performed. The final test results showed that mice exposed to e-cigarette aerosol with or without flavor agent had no significant changes in respiratory tract organs, nose and throat epithelial tissues compared with those exposed to cigarette smoke, which indicated that e-cigarette aerosol had lower stimulation on corresponding tissues and organs. The results also add to evidence that e-cigarettes significantly reduce lung inflammation and damage to the nose, throat and trachea epithelium compared to traditional cigarettes. BAT, for its part, published An article entitled "An Experimental Analytical and In Vitro Approach to Contributions to Tobacco & Nicotine Research" in the scientific journal Contributions to Tobacco & Nicotine Research Bridge Between Different Heated Tobacco Product Variants "for toxicological testing of THP(HNB products). Aerosol and cigarette smoke of five THP variants and one basic THP were used as experimental environments, and cytotoxicity was assessed by the activity of human lung epithelial cells. The results showed that all cytotoxic reactions in the THP group were approximately 95% lower than those in the cigarette smoke group, with no significant differences in toxicity between the five THP variants and the basic THP. Research shows that the development and supply of alternative tobacco and nicotine products is growing rapidly, and the acceptance of new products such as THP by consumers is increasing. The safety and risks of these products are of great concern to the industry as part of toxicological assessment. The positive role of a product as a public health strategy can only be better achieved when it meets standards, including battery performance.

e-cigarette research in SCI journals
Recently, many universities including the University of Catania in Italy, the University of South Florida in the United States, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Nebraska have published two articles on e-cigarette research in SCI journals. Two research articles agree that compared with traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes have lower harmful substances and lower cancer risk. In the past ten years, the number of people using e-cigarettes in the United States has increased sharply. In order to further study the impact of e-cigarettes on health, the University of Catania, the University of South Florida and the University of California, Los Angeles jointly published an article titled on the world-renowned academic journal ScienceDirect Paper for "A Close Look at Vaping in Adolescents and Young Adults in the USA". The article points out that e-cigarette aerosol emissions are produced at lower temperatures, and compared with traditional tobacco smoke, harmful or potentially harmful chemicals are greatly reduced, effectively reducing bronchial epithelial cell toxicity and inflammatory responses. This result is also confirmed by the authoritative QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) method. At the same time, the article stated that although some of the public`s concerns about e-cigarettes are reasonable, the public still has a lot of prejudices about the use of e-cigarettes by young people and the use of e-cigarettes by some users to cause asthma. Now people`s perception of the risks of electronic cigarettes is often greatly exaggerated. In fact, these problems can be solved in the future through technological innovation, quality and safety related electronic cigarette product supervision, such as improving chip design, introducing automatic cooling function to avoid harmful substances Pile up, or strengthen the supervision of listed e-cigarette products to avoid some unforeseen potential health problems, thereby reducing public concerns. Another article jointly published by the University of Nebraska and the University of California, Los Angeles on JAMA Network, one of the four famous international medical journals, discusses "e-cigarette users, double users of e-cigarettes and cigarettes, and triple users of cigarettes". Hazard comparison of individual groups" has been studied, and it is also concluded that using e-cigarettes alone has lower potential harm to the body. The experiment divided 3,211 participants from the United States into 3 mutually exclusive groups, including 2,356 cigarette users alone, 210 e-cigarette users alone, and 645 both cigarettes and e-cigarette users. Through testing the urine samples of the subjects, it was found that when the subjects transitioned from using cigarettes alone to using e-cigarettes alone, the concentrations of TSNA, PAHs and VOCs (all toxic components) in the urine were significantly reduced; Similar components of BOEs (biomarkers of exposure to nicotine and other toxicants) were also greatly reduced when e-cigarettes were used alone, and vice versa. Therefore, the researchers judged that the potential harm to the body from "using cigarettes alone or using cigarettes and e-cigarettes at the same time" to "using e-cigarettes alone" is lower, and suggested that people only use e-cigarettes as much as possible, so as to ensure their public health.

Cochrane, an international authoritative medical academic organization: e-cigarettes are more effective in quitting smoking, and no evidence of serious harm has been found
News on November 18, according to foreign reports, earlier today, the Cochrane Collaboration (Cochrane), an international authoritative evidence-based medical academic organization, released an update on the systematic review of e-cigarette smoking cessation. An update from 17 new studies provides more evidence that e-cigarettes are a more effective smoking cessation tool than traditional nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), Oxford researchers found Twice that of other smokers. Cochrane summarizes and interprets scientific and medical research to produce reviews and meta-analyses on key scientific questions that are considered the gold standard in medicine. The review aimed to examine the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of e-cigarettes for helping people quit smoking and included 78 studies representing 22,052 participants. Forty of these studies were randomized controlled trials. The main findings and conclusions of the Cochrane Review are summarized below: There is high-certainty evidence that nicotine-containing e-cigarettes increase smokers' chances of achieving long-term abstinence compared with conventional nicotine replacement therapy. E-cigarettes may lead to four more quitters for every 100 people who try to quit compared to traditional nicotine replacement therapy users Evidence also suggests that nicotine e-cigarettes may be more helpful for people trying to quit smoking than behavioral support, although researchers are less certain. In addition, in a very important finding, the researchers found no evidence of serious harm from e-cigarettes. Cochrane findings clearly show that e-cigarettes can play a key role in the transition of generations of smokers to reduced-risk nicotine products. Flavored products not discussed by Cochrane were shown to increase the likelihood of achieving complete smoking cessation by 43% compared with use of unflavored or tobacco-flavored e-cigarette products. As evidence mounts in favor of vaping, it becomes more important for lawmakers to stand with their vaping constituents against anti-science restrictions. Cancer experts welcomed the report, which added to growing evidence that e-cigarettes are effective smoking cessation tools. Dr Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, lead author of the article, said: "E-cigarettes have caused a lot of misunderstanding in the public health community and popular media since their introduction more than a decade ago. "For the first time, this provides us with high-certainty evidence that e-cigarettes are more effective in helping people quit smoking than traditional nicotine replacement therapies such as patches or gum." Cancer Research UK chief executive Michelle Mitchell said: We welcome this report, which adds to the growing body of evidence that e-cigarettes are an effective smoking cessation tool. But we strongly discourage the use of e-cigarettes by those who have never smoked, especially young people. That's because they're a relatively new product, and we don't yet know the long-term health effects. While the long-term effects of vaping are still unknown, the harmful effects of smoking are indisputable - smoking causes around 55,000 cancer deaths in the UK every year. Cancer Research UK supports the UK Government's balanced evidence-based regulation of e-cigarettes, maximizing their potential to help people quit smoking while minimizing the risks of vaping. The researchers concluded that more evidence is needed to help more people quit smoking, especially evidence that newer e-cigarettes deliver better nicotine than earlier e-cigarettes. Longer-term data are needed, they said. Independent experts said the results should reassure smokers that e-cigarettes can help them quit. Lead researcher Dr Sarah Jackson from the UCL Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group said: E-cigarettes are popular among smokers trying to quit, with one in every three quit attempts in the UK involving vaping. A growing number of trials are testing whether e-cigarettes make it easier for smokers to successfully quit. This review provides the most rigorous and up-to-date summary of this evidence. With more data available than ever before, the authors conclude that there is now high-quality evidence that e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine patches and gum in helping people quit smoking. These findings follow a recent review of the dangers of vaping, which showed clear evidence that vaping poses only a fraction of the health risks of smoking. Overall, these reports should reassure smokers that e-cigarettes are safer to use and may increase their chances of quitting. Bella Shenzhen Aierbaita Technology Co.,Ltd.

children's e-cigarette
A video titled "Watch out for children's e-cigarettes" was released by the popular science evaluation media "Dad Evaluation" on Wednesday, attracting wide attention. The video reveals a product that is called 'gas gum' but is very similar to an e-cigarette. The product, which gives out smoke in one puff, has a "cute" appearance and is packaged like a snack, raising concerns that it is a "children's e-cigarette" with strong appeal to minors. Similar to "gas gum", various types of "milk tea cup" has also quietly emerged. According to the Southern Metropolis Daily, the "milk tea cup" is a disposable e-cigarette product that can be sold in many convenience stores in the downtown area. In addition to the "milk tea cup", disposable atomizers such as "Coke cup" and "Dahuancai" have also appeared on the market, through which consumers can change tobacco flavor into other flavors. The reporter learned that, at present, this disposable atomizer products also derived robotic cat, pixel tiger, bear and other shapes, some products on the advertising or packaging, clearly marked with "nicotine"; Some teachers even found that "milk tea cups" have appeared in the hands of students. Experts believe that this kind of cartoon shape, fruit flavor disposable atomization products, with teenagers as the target audience of significant characteristics. Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, pointed out that China's e-cigarette management Measures clearly stipulate that the sale of flavored e-cigarettes in addition to tobacco flavor and e-cigarettes that can add their own atomizer are prohibited. In the face of various e-cigarette products in their current form, they should be supervised jointly by multiple departments and should not be sold around school premises.

China's new tax on e-cigarettes encourages exports to expand overseas markets
Electronic cigarettes eventually become "smoke". After China imposed a consumption tax on electronic cigarettes on November 1, China's supervision of electronic cigarettes has gradually become in line with traditional tobacco; the electronic cigarette industry may completely bid farewell to the "era of huge profits", and the market will be reshuffled. China News Service reported on the 2nd that an article published in the latest issue of China News Weekly, a subsidiary of China News Service, made the above judgment. Recently, the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Administration of Taxation of China jointly issued an announcement stating that the consumption tax will be levied on e-cigarettes from November 1, and the tax rate will be 36% (production link) + 11% (wholesale link). Previously, China only levied 13% value-added tax on e-cigarettes as ordinary consumer goods. The e-cigarette consumption tax is based on the tax rate of Class B cigarettes, but there is no specific tax increase. This news is considered to be the "last boot landing" for the strong supervision of the e-cigarette industry. The e-cigarette industry is "savagely growing". According to iiMedia Research, in 2013, the market size of China's e-cigarettes was 550 million yuan (RMB, the same below). The number of e-cigarette companies in China has also grown rapidly from 45,400 in 2013 to 168,400 in 2020. However, the problems of electronic cigarettes have also begun to be exposed-the uneven product quality, unlicensed operation and other industry chaos are frequent. To this end, China has continuously increased the supervision of e-cigarettes, and in the past two years, it has ushered in a period of intensive policy release. In November 2021, the State Council of China issued an amendment to the Regulations on the Implementation of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China, and electronic cigarettes were officially included in the regulation of traditional tobacco. This year, the successive implementation of two major regulatory measures, the Measures for the Administration of Electronic Cigarettes and the Mandatory National Standards for Electronic Cigarettes, also means that the supervision of electronic cigarettes is gradually aligning with traditional tobacco. E-cigarettes may usher in a surge in prices next. The introduction of consumption tax will inevitably increase the cost of e-cigarettes, thereby reducing the profit margins of e-cigarettes. Zhongtai Securities has calculated the impact of the production link consumption tax rate of 36% and the wholesale link consumption tax rate of 11% on the profit of e-cigarettes. Based on the calculation of a pod with a terminal price of 33 yuan, the total tax burden of each link before taxation is 4.3 yuan, and the incremental tax burden after taxation can reach 8.2 yuan to 14.2 yuan, that is, the highest tax burden becomes the original 3. times more. At the same time as the price increase, the e-cigarette market may be reshuffled. For the top brands, the price increase will help the company to further consolidate its dominant position. Guosheng Securities analyzed that leading e-cigarette companies can rely on multiple advantages such as scale, automation, and strong bargaining power to stabilize the impact of tax increases. With SMEs taking the lead in retiring, industry concentration is expected to continue to increase. According to Ao Weinuo, secretary general of the Electronic Cigarette Professional Committee of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, taxation is expected. The New Deal further encourages the export of e-cigarettes. Ao Weinuo said that the scope of consumption tax is only for products sold in China, and the export of electronic cigarette products is exempt from the consumption tax involved in this policy, and enjoys the original 13% tax rebate policy. Overseas exports are the focus of China's e-cigarette industry. According to the "2021 Electronic Cigarette Industry Blue Book", the domestic market size (retail) of electronic cigarettes in China in 2021 is expected to be 19.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36%; during the same period, China's total electronic cigarette exports reached 138.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 180%.

Cochrane, an international authoritative medical academic organization: e-cigarettes are more effective in quitting smoking, and no evidence of serious harm has been found
News on November 18, according to foreign reports, earlier today, the Cochrane Collaboration (Cochrane), an international authoritative evidence-based medical academic organization, released an update on the systematic review of e-cigarette smoking cessation. An update from 17 new studies provides more evidence that e-cigarettes are a more effective smoking cessation tool than traditional nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), Oxford researchers found Twice that of other smokers. Cochrane summarizes and interprets scientific and medical research to produce reviews and meta-analyses on key scientific questions that are considered the gold standard in medicine. The review aimed to examine the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of e-cigarettes for helping people quit smoking and included 78 studies representing 22,052 participants. Forty of these studies were randomized controlled trials. The main findings and conclusions of the Cochrane Review are summarized below: There is high-certainty evidence that nicotine-containing e-cigarettes increase smokers' chances of achieving long-term abstinence compared with conventional nicotine replacement therapy. E-cigarettes may lead to four more quitters for every 100 people who try to quit compared to traditional nicotine replacement therapy users Evidence also suggests that nicotine e-cigarettes may be more helpful for people trying to quit smoking than behavioral support, although researchers are less certain. In addition, in a very important finding, the researchers found no evidence of serious harm from e-cigarettes. Cochrane findings clearly show that e-cigarettes can play a key role in the transition of generations of smokers to reduced-risk nicotine products. Flavored products not discussed by Cochrane were shown to increase the likelihood of achieving complete smoking cessation by 43% compared with use of unflavored or tobacco-flavored e-cigarette products. As evidence mounts in favor of vaping, it becomes more important for lawmakers to stand with their vaping constituents against anti-science restrictions. Cancer experts welcomed the report, which added to growing evidence that e-cigarettes are effective smoking cessation tools. Dr Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, lead author of the article, said: "E-cigarettes have caused a lot of misunderstanding in the public health community and popular media since their introduction more than a decade ago. "For the first time, this provides us with high-certainty evidence that e-cigarettes are more effective in helping people quit smoking than traditional nicotine replacement therapies such as patches or gum." Cancer Research UK chief executive Michelle Mitchell said: We welcome this report, which adds to the growing body of evidence that e-cigarettes are an effective smoking cessation tool. But we strongly discourage the use of e-cigarettes by those who have never smoked, especially young people. That's because they're a relatively new product, and we don't yet know the long-term health effects. While the long-term effects of vaping are still unknown, the harmful effects of smoking are indisputable - smoking causes around 55,000 cancer deaths in the UK every year. Cancer Research UK supports the UK Government's balanced evidence-based regulation of e-cigarettes, maximizing their potential to help people quit smoking while minimizing the risks of vaping. The researchers concluded that more evidence is needed to help more people quit smoking, especially evidence that newer e-cigarettes deliver better nicotine than earlier e-cigarettes. Longer-term data are needed, they said. Independent experts said the results should reassure smokers that e-cigarettes can help them quit. Lead researcher Dr Sarah Jackson from the UCL Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group said: E-cigarettes are popular among smokers trying to quit, with one in every three quit attempts in the UK involving vaping. A growing number of trials are testing whether e-cigarettes make it easier for smokers to successfully quit. This review provides the most rigorous and up-to-date summary of this evidence. With more data available than ever before, the authors conclude that there is now high-quality evidence that e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine patches and gum in helping people quit smoking. These findings follow a recent review of the dangers of vaping, which showed clear evidence that vaping poses only a fraction of the health risks of smoking. Overall, these reports should reassure smokers that e-cigarettes are safer to use and may increase their chances of quitting. Bella Shenzhen Aierbaita Technology Co.,Ltd.

Vaping different from Smoking
Vaping vs Smoking The very first thing that makes cigarettes and vapes different is the safety to use them. For instance, you can`t smoke inside your apartment, you need to go to the balcony or outside to smoke. We all know about the dangers of smoking inside the house. On the other hand, vaping is a more convenient and safe alternative. You can smoke at home, at a party, or anywhere else. For example, if you invite friends over to watch a movie, you don`t need to pause and make everyone wait until you finish. Despite the fact that vaping and smoking are very different, many people still think that they are the same thing. In this article, we are going to clarify the major difference between smoking and vaping. Let`s get it started! Vaping different from Smoking Here are the main effects of vaping and smoking that you need to know about. Safety If your friends don`t mind, you can vape together. By the way, about movie nights. If you want to watch any movies despite some geolocation restrictions, you can download VPN on your TV. If you want to learn about installing a VPN for Apple TV, click here and read this page. If you are concerned about the decreased Internet speed when you use VPN, there are many reliable providers who offer numerous servers. Thanks to this, you get high speed in any location. VeePN is one of the providers that offer a VPN app for your Apple TV devices. If you`d like to learn more about this provider, you can read honest reviews about this company on platforms like Sitejabber or Trustpilot. This will help you learn about the real experiences of other customers with this app. And now let`s go back to vaping vs smoking comparison. Health Since vaping is thought to be less dangerous than smoking, most experts advise it for long-term smokers who are having trouble quitting. Tobacco itself isn`t a particularly dangerous substance. However, heating it causes negative effects. Incomplete combustion is the term used to describe the burning that occurs when you smoke tobacco. Many of the hundreds of chemicals found in the smoke are thought to be particularly hazardous. Over 7,000 compounds are thought to be present in cigarette smoke, according to researchers. Only a small number of them have been researched, and scientists have identified 250 of them as being very dangerous, with 70 of them having cancer-causing qualities. Vaping doesn`t involve combustion as smoking does. Instead, e-components liquids are heated by an inside coil, which causes the liquid to evaporate. Thus, if the ejuice has no dangerous substances, it won`t likely become toxic when vaporized. However, this doesn`t mean that vaping is completely safe at all. It still has certain side effects doctors are worried about. Price Compared to a vaping device, cigarettes are much less expensive. So it would seem more cost-effective to smoke cigarettes than to vape. You can, however, vape for weeks and weeks without spending any additional money, aside from purchasing the vaping kit (which is largely a one-time purchase) and eliquid oil. You`ll save money on repairs and replacements if you follow a thorough cleaning and maintenance schedule for your vaporizer. This means that the only ongoing expense is the vape juice, being a one-time purchase. Nicotine Content Another frequently erroneous distinction between vaping and smoking is that the former involves nicotine while the latter does not. That is untrue. Nicotine is delivered by smoking and vaping. Nicotine is delivered via combustion when smoking, but it is delivered by vaporization when vaping. As a result, the nicotine content a smoker consumes varies on how often they smoke, which is an additional risk, particularly when a cigarette roll has a low nicotine content. A smoker would need to inhale a lot of hazardous substances while performing numerous rolls to sate their nicotine needs. Since the amount of nicotine in an eliquid mostly depends on the choice made, vaping enables the user to regulate their nicotine intake. It`s also important to remember that nicotine is not poisonous even if it is an addictive drug. Quitting Nicotine is incredibly addictive to the brain. Because of this, they are much more addicted to nicotine than their older counterparts. Numerous vape goods include higher nicotine levels, which can make it more difficult for you to stop using them. People need to stop taking these products with a lot of caution. The state has resources that allow residents to contact experts on nicotine satiation. A good place to start could be to schedule an appointment with a doctor who has experience or comfort in assisting young people quit smoking using nicotine replacement products like patches or perhaps pharmaceuticals. The final note Keep in mind that smoking has additional negative health effects. This indicates that a smoker will probably be spending more on healthcare than a vapor. However, vaping also can`t be considered a completely healthy option. Our new model 2 in 1 vape ,15000puffs welcome customized brand. Whatsapp me please: 0086-13617718729

FDA issues first ban on sales of menthol-flavored e-cigarettes
On October 26, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued its first sales prohibition order (MDO) for menthol e-cigarette products. It is aimed at the Logic Pro Menthol e-Liquid Package and Logic Power Menthol e-Liquid Package sold under the Logic brand of Japan Tobacco, two menthol flavored e-cigarette products. Logic is part of Japan Tobacco International (JTI), one of the largest tobacco companies in the world. After reviewing the company's Premarket Tobacco Product Applications (PMTAs), the FDA determined that the applications "lacked sufficient evidence that allowing the sale of the product would be appropriate to protect public health (APPH)," the agency said in the 2009 "Home Smoking" applicable standards as required by law under the Prevention and Tobacco Control Act." The agency also said the evidence provided by Logic did not prove that menthol-flavored e-cigarettes were more effective than tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes in promoting "complete switching or significant reductions in cigarette use." Under the sales restraining order, the Logic brand will not be able to sell or market the menthol-flavored e-cigarettes in the United States. Logic's options now are to obey the FDA's order and remove its menthol products from the market, or challenge the FDA in court or through an internal FDA appeal. Dozens of e-cigarette companies have opted to fight the sales prohibition order in federal court.
