On October 22, the Research Report on e-cigarette marketing and its impact on Teenagers' health released by the tobacco control research center of the Institute of health communication of Fudan University (hereinafter referred to as "Fudan tobacco control research center") showed that among the teenagers who tried to buy e-cigarettes within one month, 2 / 3 successfully bought them. E-cigarette sales for minors show a state of "cracking down for a while, stopping for a while; after the crackdown, it continues to be rampant". The report is based on a survey of 2405 junior and senior high school students from Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou. The survey results show that 108 of these teenagers have used e-cigarettes (about 4.5%), and 87 (about 3.6%) have tried to buy e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. The main ways for teenagers to obtain e-cigarettes are: offline physical store purchase (42.4%), online purchase (38.8%), gift from others (28.2%), convenience store purchase (16.5%), etc. The State Administration of market supervision and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration jointly issued the notice on banning the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and the notice on further protecting minors from e-cigarettes in 2018 and 2019. Whether teenagers buy e-cigarettes from online channels or offline convenience stores, they are prohibited by national policies, but they are prohibited repeatedly. Southern Metropolis Daily reporter Wu Bin has long followed the tobacco control report. He took out a group of unannounced interview videos of inviting junior two students to help buy e-cigarettes in convenience stores at the seminar. The video shows that more than 10 junior high school students participating in the unannounced visit easily bought e-cigarettes in convenience stores. Many shop assistants also recommended different flavors of e-cigarettes to students, "this is Jufeng grape flavor, this is milk flavor, and they are very delicious." Zheng frequently, director of Fudan tobacco control research center, believes that this shows that the supervision of e-cigarettes and other related products by regulatory authorities needs to be improved. The key question is whether to incorporate e-cigarettes into the tobacco regulatory system. The reporter of Zhongqing daily · zhongqing.com noted that the academic community had previously put forward the proposal of "prohibiting the use of flavoring agents in e-cigarettes". The academic community generally believes that not allowing the use of flavoring agents in e-cigarettes can effectively prevent some minors from buying. However, under the influence of e-cigarette manufacturers and various parties, this proposal has not been adopted. The manufacturer claimed that "banning the use of flavoring agents is not conducive to achieving positive public health results". Summer passion fruit, long island iced tea, White Peach Oolong, cold pineapple... These are the e-cigarettes available on the market. "There are about 16000 kinds of e-cigarettes on the market. These flavor additives attract teenagers to contact nicotine and become addicted. Some flavor additives may bring health risks. For example, vanilla and cinnamaldehyde additives will increase the toxicity of e-smoke sol." Sun Jiani, a technical officer of no tobacco action of the World Health Organization representative office in China, believes that e-cigarettes are not safe, "The aerosol it produces contains nicotine and toxic chemicals harmful to users and non users. At the same time, the use of e-cigarettes will increase the risk of cardiovascular and lung diseases." Most teenagers use e-cigarettes for the first time at the age of 10-15 years old. How do teenagers who mainly study daily get access to information related to e-cigarettes? The survey results show that 15% of teenagers have seen e-cigarettes in stores near the school, and 1 / 3 of teenagers said they have seen e-cigarette advertisements in the last month. The teenagers surveyed are mainly through social media And offline stores heard about e-cigarettes. "Now there is a worrying situation. There is no voice from tobacco control institutions, and marketing soft articles are flying all over the sky." Huang biaowen, an associate professor of Beijing Jiaotong University, focused on the relevant reports of e-cigarettes and found that the release channels of these soft articles are mainly comprehensive network media (40.18%). Zheng's team had previously monitored the official websites of 104 Chinese e-cigarette enterprises and found that only 43% of the websites had restrictions on the entry age of users, but such restrictions had no specific verification requirements; 76% of the e-cigarette enterprise websites did not have any health warning statements; some websites with health warning information still had problems, such as "E-cigarettes are only harm reducing products and may still be harmful to health" is a vague message, "the warning is obviously not enough". It is reported that most teenagers will feel uncomfortable after using e-cigarettes. Among the 108 teenagers who have used e-cigarettes, 50 (46.3%) said they had adverse reactions. Common adverse reactions include throat irritation or cough, dry mouth and phlegm, headache and nausea. (outlook new era)
