State Tobacco Monopoly Administration: Implementing electronic cigarette industry policies to further promote supply and demand equilibrium.

The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued the "Notice on Implementing the Policy of the Electronic Cigarette Industry to Further Promote the Balance of Supply and Demand", which mentions the promotion of market supply-demand balance. It is important to coordinate the effective role of the market and the government, determine the annual production scale within the already approved production capacity range, and set it as the enterprise's annual production and sales target to effectively resolve and prevent risks of market disorderly competition. Strictly implement total production capacity control, adhere to differentiated policies, reasonably determine production scale based on the business situation of the enterprise, conduct rigorous reviews of production scale adjustments, and reasonably determine the adjustment amount for the production scale of electronic cigarette-related enterprises. It is necessary to continuously strengthen the supervision of electronic cigarettes, strictly restrict market entities with higher risks, focus on inspections and controls, and severely punish illegal activities such as exporting products back to the country, false declaration, and products not meeting national standards and quality safety requirements according to the law. Electronic cigarette-related enterprises should take on their primary responsibility, strengthen compliance capacity building, submit proof documents for export products that comply with destination country laws and regulations, and promote compliance in all aspects of the export trade chain.
