On November 23, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued the “Notice on the Limited Carry of E-cigarette Products, Atomizers, E-cigarette Nicotine, etc. in Different Places”, which requires each person to carry e-cigarette products, vapes, and e-cigarette cigarettes in different places each time.
Alkali, etc. shall be subject to limited management. Specifically, the announcement stipulates that the limited number of smoking devices carried in different places shall not exceed 6; the number of e-cigarette pods (liquid aerosols) shall not exceed 90, and the products sold in combination with pods and smoking devices (including disposable electronic cigarettes, etc.) shall not exceed 90. Atomized substances such as e-liquid and nicotine for e-cigarettes shall not exceed 180ml.
On the same day, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration and the State Post Bureau jointly issued the “Notice on the Limited Delivery of E-cigarette Products, Atomizers, E-cigarette Nicotine, etc.” manage.
Specifically, the notice stipulates that the limit for each e-cigarette product to be delivered is: 2 pieces of smoking equipment; 6 pieces of e-cigarette pods (liquid aerosols) or products sold in combination with pods and smoking equipment (including disposable e-cigarettes, etc.), totaling E-liquid capacity does not exceed 12ml. The delivery limit for e-liquid and other vapes and nicotine for e-cigarettes is 12ml per piece. Sending smoking sets, e-cigarette pods (liquid aerosols), products sold in combination with pods and smoking sets (including disposable e-cigarettes, etc.), e-liquid and other aerosols, and nicotine for e-cigarettes, each person is limited to one item per day. Multiple deliveries are not allowed.
The release of new regulations means that the supervision is further refined, and the management standards for e-cigarettes are tending to be unified with those of traditional tobacco. With the implementation of limited management on the delivery of e-cigarette products, the industry will usher in a more standardized development.
Previously, in the irregular stage of rapid development of the industry, e-cigarettes have always been said to be “huge profits”. With the implementation of the consumption tax and the introduction of a series of regulatory policies, the industry believes that the e-cigarette industry has basically bid farewell to the era of “huge profits” and ushered in a new stage of healthy development.
“Both companies and dealers need to recognize the reality.” The above-mentioned industry insiders told the “Securities Daily” reporter that it is the general trend for electronic cigarettes to replace traditional cigarettes, but the era of high gross profit is over. For enterprises, they can produce more diversified e-cigarette products to meet the needs of different consumers; for distributors, it is not a long-term solution to blindly increase prices to maintain profits, and product prices and industry profits will eventually return to rationality.
