The Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare has detected that nearly 80% of e-cigarettes sold on the market contain addictive nicotine. Although there are penalties for the manufacture and sale of e-cigarettes in China, there is no penalty for smoking e-cigarettes. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has sent to the Executive Yuan a draft amendment to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harm, in which the penalty for smoking Vaporizer is equivalent to smoking ordinary cigarettes, with a maximum penalty of 10,000 yuan.

Ru Suying, head of the Health Education and Smoking Prevention Group of the National Health Department of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said that the current tobacco control law imposes a fine of 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan for the manufacture and import of Vaporizer and a fine of 1,000 to 3,000 yuan for the sale of Vaporizer. However, there is no penalty for smoking Vaporizer except for non-entry, so it is submitted to the Executive Yuan for approval of tobacco hazard prevention. The draft amendment to the Constitution raises penalties, ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 for manufacturing and importing Vaporizer, from $10,000 to $50,000 for selling and from $20,000 to $10,000 for smoking Vaporizer.

Russell Ying: "Now we use"shape like cigarette"because some of the electronic cigarette products are no longer shaped like cigarettes, then in the future there will be a clear definition of Vaporizer in smoke control law. In the future, the amount of electronic cigarette smoking in public places is comparable to that of cigarettes, which can be fined up to 10 thousand yuan.

Russell Ying said that the new law also stipulates that adolescents who smoke e e-cigarettes should receive smoking cessation education just like those who smoke ordinary cigarettes, and relevant units will provide e-smoking cessation services. In a report of the Executive and Legislative Coordination Committee held on the 2nd, Zhang Xiuzhen, deputy spokesman of the executive body, said that there was a consensus that strict control should be adopted and the Tobacco Prevention and Control Law should be amended. In the future, Vaporizer will be banned from manufacturing, importing, selling and advertising. Violators can be fined NT $250,000.
