It has been observed by 2FIRSTS that a document on the official website of the Transport and Logistics Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region states that, due to the need to alleviate the impact of the ban on the transportation of alternative smoking products on the transportation business as soon as possible, the Hong Kong Transport and Logistics Bureau plans to submit revised proposals for legislation on the transportation of electronic cigarettes to the Legislative Council in early 2023.
On November 25th, the Hong Kong Transport and Logistics Bureau released a discussion paper titled "Strengthening Regulation on Transit of Alternative Smoking Products" at the Hong Kong Legislative Council's Economic Development Committee. The paper proposes legislative recommendations to enhance the regulatory system for alternative smoking products (namely e-cigarettes, heat-not-burn devices, and related products) that are shipped from mainland China to other overseas markets via Hong Kong. The Bureau is seeking feedback from legislators on these proposals to improve existing legislation.
A document that will seek legislative recommendations is set to be discussed at a meeting on November 28. Image obtained from the official website of the Transport and Logistics Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
On November 28, 2022, the relevant regulatory system will also be publicly discussed in the Legislative Council. At that time, Legislative Council committee members and Transport and Logistics Bureau legislator Yee Ching-ming will attend. 2FIRSTS will continue to track and report on developments, so stay tuned.
