Taiwan to Ban Nicotine E-Cigarettes: Report
According to a report from Filter, China Taiwan will become the next region to ban nicotine e-cigarette products.
The ban in Taiwan seems to have drawn inspiration from Japan, where the sale of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes is prohibited but heated tobacco products are allowed. India and Thailand have also banned e-cigarettes.
Taiwan has imposed a ban that will prohibit the use of electronic cigarettes, with violators facing fines of up to $330 (approximately RMB 2239).
Simon Lee, a policy researcher on Taiwan at the Consumer Choice Center, a global consumer rights organization based in Washington, stated that "this issue has not received enough public discussion and the methods to reduce harm should be more thoroughly debated. For example, we have seen misinformation spread among anti-tobacco activists, particularly regarding nicotine. There is no doubt that Taiwanese consumers deserve better outcomes.
