5. E-cigarette bans

E-cigarette producers are urged to shut down their internet sales channels and withdraw online advertisements for e-cigarettes.

On Oct 30, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration jointly issued a document aimed at strengthening the management of e-cigarettes to better protect minors.

Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Nanning and other places have also banned the use of e-cigarettes in public places. Individuals who break the rules will be fined.
