Juul Supports Legislation to Regulate Nicotine Products in Florida
E-cigarette company JUUL calls for further regulation of nicotine products to deter illegal sales from China.

According to a report by Health News Florida on January 25, e-cigarette company JUUL has reached out to Florida lawmakers seeking support for increased regulations on nicotine products due to concerns over the illicit sale of e-cigarette products imported from China.

 

Currently, e-cigarette company JUUL Labs has written to the Florida legislature in support of bills SB 1006 and HB 1007. These bills aim to further regulate nicotine products in order to tackle the issue of certain retailers illegally selling e-cigarette products imported from China.

 

These bills will require nicotine product manufacturers to submit necessary forms to the tobacco department for each product sold in the state and provide additional information as required. In addition, certain violations will be subject to penalties. In a letter, representatives from Juul stated that these two bills will create a "well-regulated market" for legal e-cigarette products.

U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal to collect foreign export declarations and other overseas customs documents could expose discrepancies in the value, classification and description of China-made vape shipments entering the United States. A veteran Chinese logistics professional told 2Firsts that the measure, if implemented, could undermine the all-inclusive shipping model used by some unauthorized vape exporters and push parts of the trade toward costlier underground channels. The risk extends beyond higher duties: accurately declared products may also be more readily identified as unauthorized e-cigarettes subject to FDA enforcement.

Health Canada also acknowledges continued unauthorized sales, while recent research shows rising pouch use among Canadian youth aged 16 to 19.

South Korea Extends Vape Rules to Unmanned Stores After Bringing Synthetic Nicotine Under Tobacco Law
South Korea Extends Vape Rules to Unmanned Stores After Bringing Synthetic Nicotine Under Tobacco Law
South Korea's Ministry of Gender Equality and Family said on September 14 that it plans to designate unmanned e-cigarette stores as businesses where minors are prohibited from entering or working. Operators would be required to verify customers' ages and display notices restricting access by minors. The proposal is open for public comment through October 6. The move follows an April expansion of South Korea's statutory tobacco definition that brought products made with natural or synthetic nicotine under the Tobacco Business Act. Nicotine-free liquids and products using nicotine analogues such as 6-methylnicotine, however, remain an emerging regulatory issue.
