Crackdown on E-Cigarettes and Use of Harmful Substances in Shenzhen
Shenzhen authorities crack down on illegal e-cigarette production and sales, aiming to reduce the social harm caused by addictive substances.

According to an article on Shenzhen News Network on October 10th, in order to combat the illegal use of e-cigarettes that rely on methylene ether e-cigarette liquid, the Public Ming Street in Shenzhen recently joined forces with the local community police office to carry out a special investigation and crackdown on e-cigarettes. Anti-drug personnel conducted comprehensive inspections and education on e-cigarette manufacturers and retail stores, strictly prohibiting the flow of e-cigarette liquids that rely on addictive substances such as methylene ether into the market, with the aim of minimizing social harm and safeguarding public health and safety.

In the process of implementing the operation, staff members visited e-cigarette e-liquid production companies and retail stores in the jurisdiction one by one, with a focus on checking whether the business licenses and cigarette monopoly permits of the production companies were up to standard. They also called on business owners of the companies and stores to participate in a symposium, where they signed a commitment to not sell drugs, registered information of sales personnel, and made efforts to make these companies and stores understand and assume the responsibility of prohibiting drugs. They also dedicated themselves to regulating the production and operation order of the e-cigarette industry, ensuring that substandard products do not appear in production sources, distribution channels, and retail stores.

Note: Methylphenidate is a white, water-insoluble powder substance. Misuse of methylphenidate can lead to confusion, muscle spasms, blurred consciousness, unstable balance, and a staggering, drunken-like state. Ingesting high doses can result in emotional disturbances, sluggishness, and impairments in one's thoughts and willpower, causing mental disorders. It can also easily lead to respiratory pauses and even death. Long-term, excessive use of methylphenidate increases the risk of fatality.
