Can e-cigarette students use it?

Can e-cigarette students use it? In October last year, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued a circular banning the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. Most students are minors, so most students cannot use electronic cigarettes.

According to data released by the FDA on November 15, 2018, approximately two-thirds (67.8%) of U.S. children ages 12 to 17 use e-cigarettes. Adolescents are becoming an important group of e-cigarette users in the world.

In recent months, Guishan Lake District, Guiyang, Guizhou Province, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, Weifang City, Shandong Province, Xiangjiang Road, Huangdao District, Qingdao, Danzhou, Hainan Province, Guilin, Guangxi, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Zhengzhou, Henan, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, etc. The media said commissaries at local elementary and middle schools were selling large quantities of e-cigarettes to students.

In August last year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a circular calling for a ban on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. However, the sale of e-cigarettes to minors has not been effectively stopped.

Although many online shops clearly state that "minors cannot use e-cigarettes", when placing an order, there is neither a step to verify age nor customer service to discourage them. Electronic cigarette vending machines in some shopping malls also only need to scan the code to select the product, and then they can obtain electronic cigarettes from the vending machine independently.

The low threshold of e-cigarette itself has attracted investors to the sea one after another, and the gap in regulatory policies has increased the uncertainty of the e-cigarette industry, and the e-cigarette market has been chaotic. The most important thing to stop young people from smoking is legislation.
