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.
