Supervision of e-cigarettes

Supervision of e-cigarettes

China is planning to establish legislation to supervise electronic cigarettes as part of overall tobacco control efforts as use of the products increases among the youth, the National Health Commission said on Monday.
Like conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes can also be harmful.  The flavored vapor they produce contains many toxic substances, and smokers could get addicted to the nicotine, said Mao Qun'an, chief of the commission's planning department. About 0.9% of people in China were e-cigarette users last year, up from 0.5% that of in 2015, according to a survey released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in May, which was based on nearly 20,000 people across China.
