Crackdown on E-cigarette Sales near Schools in Haikou
Market regulators in Haikou crack down on illegal sales of e-cigarettes to minors near schools.

Recently, as schools in Haikou City began their new academic year, efforts were made to strengthen the regulation and clamp down on illegal sales of electronic cigarettes to minors by retailers near school campuses. The Haikou Market Supervision Administration's Meilan branch, in conjunction with the Meilan Division of the Haikou Tobacco Monopoly Supervision Administration, launched a special campaign to crack down on electronic cigarette sales within their jurisdiction.


Joint law enforcement checks all key areas comprehensively.


The focus of this special campaign is to conduct inspections on e-cigarette vendors located in areas with a high concentration of minors, such as those near elementary and secondary schools. Enforcement officials will primarily examine the license status of e-cigarette businesses and the posting of advertising materials promoting the prohibition of e-cigarette sales to minors. Strict measures will be taken against any illegal activities related to the sale of e-cigarettes to minors or the dissemination of false e-cigarette advertisements.


Widespread promotion and collection of leads.


Law enforcement officials are requiring tobacco retailers to prominently display and place in their shops signage that reads "Prohibited for primary and secondary school students, and not for sale to minors," in order to increase legal awareness. Additionally, a special crackdown campaign is announcing the complaints hotline "12345" to facilitate reporting and encourage retailers to fulfill their social responsibilities by actively soliciting feedback from the community, voluntarily accepting social oversight, and guiding the public to actively participate in this special action in order to build a positive public opinion environment.


Next, the Meilan Sub-bureau will integrate the focus on special rectification of electronic cigarettes with daily regulatory work, consistently utilizing the joint law enforcement mechanism to strengthen market regulation, strictly cracking down on illegal sales and manufacture of electronic cigarettes, and safeguarding the healthy growth of youths.
