South Korea Groups Rally for Swift Passage of Synthetic Nicotine Vape Regulation

Nov.22.2024

Several organizations in South Korea held a press conference in front of the National Assembly, calling for the swift passage of a bill regulating synthetic nicotine vapes to protect youth health.

According to a report from N.News on November 22, members of the Korean Alliance for the Protection of Youth, the Seoul YMCA, and the Korean Tobacco Management Education Research Center held a press conference in front of the National Assembly gate on Yoi Island in Seoul, calling for the swift passage of legislation to regulate synthetic nicotine e-cigarettes.

The current Tobacco Industry Law does not include synthetic nicotine e-cigarettes, which has led to a rapid rise in popularity among teenagers.

Attendees urge legislative bodies to take action as soon as possible to strengthen regulation of synthetic nicotine e-cigarettes, aiming to protect young people from potential health risks.
