The "ditching" of e-cigarettes is another victory for tobacco control

At present, most of the mainstream e-cigarette brands in the market have completed the price adjustment, among which the consumable projectile price increase is the most, the price adjustment range is generally 20% to 50%. Some consumers are also turning away from e-cigarettes because of the scarcity and high price.



At present, there are two major battlefields in tobacco control, one concerning traditional cigarettes and the other concerning e-cigarettes. In view of the harm of traditional cigarettes, some tobacco control effects have been achieved through the warning of cigarette pack and the legislation of smoking ban in public places. As for the consumption of e-cigarettes, they have been included in the ban on smoking in public places, and the initial effect of tobacco control has been seen. Some smokers have decided to give up e-cigarettes, which is a direct reflection of this effect.



Both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes are harmful to human health. Take e-cigarettes, for example. The World Health Organization has made it clear that e-cigarettes are harmful and there is insufficient evidence that they can be used as a smoking cessation tool.



In this case, some smokers said that they are controlling their vaping habit and have some stock at home. They plan to quit after smoking. Other smokers have decided to give up e-cigarettes because they are more expensive, less convenient and less flavorful. As a result, the once popular craze for e-cigarette consumption is expected to cool down and return to rationality.



E-cigarettes have been abandoned by some smokers, suggesting that relevant measures have had a positive effect. It's another victory for tobacco control efforts. Still, there are plenty of people who are vaping, who don't care about higher prices or less flavor. Some minors are tempted to use e-cigarettes;



First of all, a variety of effective ways should be taken to guide smokers, especially minors, to realize that e-cigarettes are also harmful to their health, so as to enhance the public's immunity to the temptation of e-cigarettes. In addition, more laws should be made to control tobacco use. More places should include e-cigarettes in the scope of smoking ban in public places, and the design of e-cigarette packaging should be regulated.



Although it is difficult to achieve a complete victory in the game with e-cigarettes quickly, as long as we always adhere to the concept of life first and health first and continue to promote the tobacco control work related to e-cigarettes, the effect of tobacco control will continue to appear, and more and more smokers will gradually give up e-cigarettes. At the same time, be wary of some smokers switching from e-cigarettes to traditional cigarettes. When it comes to tobacco control, traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes must be tackled with one hand and both hands must be hard.
