According to a report from the China Times News Website on August 29th, the Taoyuan Health Bureau in Taiwan, in conjunction with the Taoyuan Police Department, discovered a manufacturing factory for e-cigarettes on the afternoon of the 28th. A total of 321 boxes of e-cigarettes, 86 packs of e-liquid, as well as semi-finished products and main units were confiscated. Additionally, manufacturing equipment such as mixers, fillers, and scales were found. It is estimated that the value of the case exceeds 20 million New Taiwan Dollars (approximately 630,000 US dollars).
It is understood that currently all equipment and products have been sealed, and the manufacturers will be pursued for fines of up to 50 million Taiwanese dollars (approximately 1.57 million US dollars).
The Taoyuan Health Bureau has issued a warning, stating that illegal manufacturing of e-cigarettes and similar products poses a serious threat, especially to the health of young people. The bureau also urges businesses not to take any chances. This is the first time the Taoyuan City Health Bureau has uncovered an e-cigarette manufacturing factory.
The Health Department pointed out that recently, it has been discovered that some teenagers, not familiar with the regulations, have been helping their friends post advertisements or sell e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and their accessories on social media platforms. The Health Department once again reminds teenagers not to assist each other in posting advertisements or selling these products, with offenders facing fines ranging from 20,000 to 1 million Taiwanese dollars.
In addition, in order to actively prevent young people from accessing e-cigarette products, the Department of Health has also collaborated with the National Health Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare to monitor online activities. From the implementation of the new law on March 22nd last year until August 28th this year, over 2000 inspections have been conducted, resulting in 27 cases of illegal advertising or selling of e-cigarettes being penalized, with a total fine of 4.7 million Taiwan dollars (approximately 150,000 US dollars).
