Earlier this month, China’s tobacco regulator issued draft vape laws which amend the tobacco monopoly law in place to include e-cigarettes, allowing the government the opportunity to revolutionize global tobacco harm reduction.
The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration’s draft rules amend the country’s tobacco monopoly, extending it to e-cigarettes.
As per the draft, local businesses must register with the tobacco authority. Moreover, local manufacturers must obtain an additional licence to prove they are in possession of sufficient funds for production, and for a facility and equipment that meet the set standards.
