Hong Kong Legislative Council to Discuss E-Cigarette Transport
Hong Kong to discuss reopening e-cigarette shipping during legislative meeting on November 28, according to internal sources.

According to internal sources in the Hong Kong Legislative Council, there will be a meeting on November 28th to discuss the "reopening of electronic cigarette transportation" in Hong Kong.


During the meeting, Councilor Yi Zhiming is expected to submit and discuss a document, as seen in a photo from 2FIRSTS.


Yi Zhiming, a member of the seventh Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will focus on specific documents and solutions to discuss topics related to strengthening the Legislative Council's Economic Affairs Development Committee's control over the transportation of electronic cigarettes and multimodal transportation at the meeting.


According to internal government documents, the average air freight volume from May to October 2022 has significantly decreased by 18% compared to the same period last year. The Hong Kong air freight and logistics industry is facing increasingly severe challenges.


To maintain Hong Kong's position as a leading international aviation and logistics hub and ensure the ban on importing e-cigarettes is upheld, the government plans to improve the current regulatory system for transporting alternative smoking products. Through a new regulatory framework, e-cigarette products will be transferred using safe and reliable methods of control.


The discussion of this internal meeting will be exclusively tracked and reported by 2FIRSTS on the 28th, with further updates available on the "2FIRSTSAPP". Scan the QR code below to download the app.

Rethinking Nicotine Harm Reduction: A Neuroscientist’s Perspective on Scientific Gaps and Future Directions — By Dr. Xin-an Liu
After France’s ANSES report on nicotine products and harm reduction, Dr. Xin-an Liu wrote to 2Firsts reassessing the field’s foundations. She argues the debate reveals gaps in evidence on long-term behavioral substitution, addiction pathways and neurobiological impacts, and calls for longitudinal research, integrated behavioral science and neuroimaging, clearer risk assessment and stronger transparency to ensure policy and next-generation product development rest on solid evidence.

The UK government plans to expand the scope of its e-cigarette ban to include playgrounds, off-campus areas, and areas outside hospitals.
Government plans would ban vaping in cars carrying children and restrict smoking, vaping and heated tobacco in settings including playgrounds and outside schools across England, subject to a 12-week public consultation. The proposals also say indoor spaces where smoking is already banned would become vape- and heated-tobacco-free, and areas outside hospitals would be included.
