The Vice President of AVP visited the Shenzhen Electronic Cigarette Committee office and discussed the industry's development.

In the rainy month of August in Shenzhen, as is customary each month, the chairman of the electronic cigarette committee came to office. The rotating chairman for August is Ouyang Junwei, vice chairman of the electronic cigarette professional committee and president of Shenzhen AIPVS Technology Co., Ltd. He arrived at the committee on August 12th to fulfill his duties in accordance with the committee's "chairman rotation system." Also accompanying him was Gu Shuang, the company's director of public relations.

At 10:00 am, Vice Chairman Ouyang arrived at the office of the Electronic Cigarette Commission and was warmly received by Secretary General Ao and the staff of the Secretariat. Vice Chairman Ouyang spent a long time viewing the electronic cigarette product showroom and the wall of the development history of the electronic cigarette industry, and praised the upgraded and modernized office of the commission. Secretary General Ao introduced Vice Chairman Ouyang to the commission's brand new modern live broadcast room, where the commission successfully held online communication meetings with many overseas electronic cigarette associations such as VITA of Canada, IEVA of Europe, and VTA of the United States. The commission exchanged the latest news on the international situation with overseas electronic cigarette associations, and built a bridge between member enterprises and overseas electronic cigarette markets to explore innovative ways to empower Chinese electronic cigarette enterprises.

Secretary General Ao reported to Vice Chairman Ouyang on the work of the Electronic Cigarette Committee from January to July 2022. During the first half of the year, the Committee achieved remarkable results. On July 12th, Secretary General Ao was hired by the Baoan District Investment Promotion Agency as a consultant for investment attraction, which represents the government's high recognition and approval of the Committee's work on electronic cigarettes and demonstrates the government's growing emphasis and determination to support and develop the aerosol industry. With strong support from government departments in the Baoan District and the Shenzhen Airport Group, the recently launched electronic cigarette whitelist enterprise certification standards and differentiated security inspection system was one of the Committee's recent key areas of work. The increasing number of electronic cigarette enterprises certified on the whitelist demonstrates the unremitting efforts the Committee has made to serve its member enterprises, which are now paying off. The Committee will also summarize its monthly work in its monthly journal, "Observing Fog," which will also report on key information and in-depth reports on the electronic cigarette industry at home and abroad. The Committee will mail a copy of "Observing Fog" to its member enterprises every month.


The Secretary-General of the Electronic Cigarette Committee, Mr. Ao Weino, reported to the Vice Chairman, Mr. Ouyang Junwei, on the work of the committee from January to July.


Vice Chairman Ouyang stated, "AVPS has been continuously showing support and attention to the work of the committee. Secretary General Ao, along with the Secretariat, has been working diligently in the industry for six years, and we thank the committee for their consistent dedication and contribution. Currently, we are in an era of legal supervision and regulation, where both domestic and international entities are strengthening compliance. The top priority is undoubtedly compliance in business operations. With the limited power of a single enterprise, it is difficult to judge how compliance work can be carried out in an orderly manner. At this time, the role of the committee in the industry is particularly crucial. We should unite on the platform of the committee and make greater contributions in areas such as compliance and international affairs.

Secretary Ao said, "Vice Chairman Ouyang immersed himself in the e-cigarette industry immediately after graduation and has consistently demonstrated a passion for the industry for ten years. He hopes that the company can grow and contribute to society and the nation. Avips and the Special Committee have maintained close communication over the years and have provided real support for the Committee's work. The Secretariat sincerely appreciates the company's trust and encouragement, which are our greatest assets.

Avipus Company is reportedly preparing extensive data and actively participating in the rigorous review process for the US Premarket Tobacco Application (PMTA). This regulatory process places significant demands on companies, but Avipus is fully committed and proactively addressing global compliance efforts. These efforts underscore the company's core competencies and strengths in an increasingly regulated global environment.


Recently, Avipus has successfully obtained the "Shenzhen Airport Electronic Atomization Product White List Enterprise Certification and Differentiated Security Check" qualification through a rigorous review process. Vice Chairman Ouyang stated that receiving recognition from the government, airport, and expert committees is an enormous show of support for Avipus. The company will cherish this rare opportunity and prevent any cutting corners in product quality to protect the industry's reputation. Avipus also calls on industry members to regulate themselves and strive for high-quality development.
