Invitation to Join China E-cig Regulation Group

The law firm Keller and Heckman LLP, through its Shanghai office, is inviting stakeholders to join a new working group dedicated to the development of appropriate e-cigarette product standards and regulations in China.

In China, there are currently no laws or regulations targeting e-cigarettes. However, this may soon change. Recently, during the 16th World Conference on Tobacco or Health in Abu Dhabi, UAE, a representative of the Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission made it clear that Chinese authorities are planning to develop e-cigarette regulations, given the huge potential of the Chinese e-cigarette market and the various public-health and safety issues related to the use of e-cigarettes.

When authorities start to consider the regulation of e-cigarettes, they will likely solicit input from industry stakeholders. Thus, Keller and Heckman believes now is the best time to create a working group of e-cigarette and e-liquid companies and other interested stakeholders who want to engage in the regulatory process.
