Big data shows that by 2021, more than 10 million people aged 15 and above in China used e-cigarettes, mainly young people, and e-cigarettes are gradually becoming one of the tobacco products that harm the physical and mental health of minors.
Jinan Tobacco Monopoly Administration in Shandong province has set up a "new line of defense" to protect minors from tobacco smoke.
One is to watch the e-cigarette market "rebound zone." A special rectification campaign has been launched to regulate e-cigarette market regulation, regulate e-cigarette production and business activities, continuously strengthen the control of Internet channels, implement the spirit of the circular documents, and clean up Internet rebranding, disguised e-cigarette sales and false and illegal advertisements. Guide the legal and standardized operation of physical e-cigarette stores, implement the 1322 Law on e-cigarette Supervision, conduct comprehensive investigation and establish e-cigarette sales network files, clean up and regulate automatic sales equipment, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors; We will strengthen publicity on the harmlessness of e-cigarettes, impose severe punishment on physical stores selling "three nothing" e-cigarette products, and actively create a situation of high pressure supervision over e-cigarettes to prevent the "resurgence" of the e-cigarette market disorder.
Second, pay close attention to the "risk zone" around the campus. Conscientiously implement the requirement that no sales outlets should be set up around the campus, clearly regulate the distance standard and measurement standard around the campus, comprehensively investigate and clean up the existing tobacco sales outlets around the campus, establish work ledger, regularly summarize the progress of cleaning, and investigate and punish unlicensed business owners around the campus according to law; In order to create a standardized and orderly cigarette market environment, the license holders around the campus will be encouraged to quit voluntarily, and the license conditions will be eased appropriately in accordance with the law for those who change their business address. The license will not be extended after the expiration of the original business address.
Third, pay close attention to the "core area" of selling cigarettes to minors. Implement the provisions on setting up warning signs and verifying identity certificates, speed up the organization of prominently posted warning signs prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors in cigarette sales outlets, and urge operators to actively reject the requirements of minors to buy cigarettes; We will strengthen daily supervision of the tobacco market, improve the operation mechanism of the 12313 hotline, smooth the channels for reporting and complaining, investigate and punish illegal cigarette sales to minors in accordance with the law, and raise the clean rate of markets in key supervised areas around campuses by using a combination of random and open supervision measures.
