Encourage and support the export of electronic cigarettes.


In 2021, the worldwide e-cigarette market was worth USD 80 billion, and exports totaled RMB 138.3 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 180 percent. The electronic cigarette business has steadily entered the period of standardized development with the publication of this year's "Electronic Cigarette Management Measures," "Electronic Cigarette" national standards, and other related policy documents. China's e-cigarette sector will maintain its solid development momentum in the past and may usher in a new phase of growth under the supervision of defined regulatory expectations and restrictions.


The goal of this conference is to provide policy publicity, industrial chain support, international policy environment support, product and intellectual property certification, and other services to e-cigarette export enterprises, as well as to guide the more benign and long-term development of e-cigarette enterprises. It is prohibited to exhibit and promote e-cigarette goods in various forms at the conference, according to the Administrative Measures for E-cigarettes. Nowadays, the state has enacted policies, ushered in the growth of the rule of law and standards, more uniform meetings, and mastered management techniques.
