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.
