Do disposable e-cigarettes require a license?

Disposable e-cigarettes cannot be sold at will.

E-cigarettes are monopoly items or other restricted items stipulated by law. According to Article 225 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, operating monopoly items or other restricted items stipulated by laws and administrative regulations without permission may constitute illegal business operations and face criminal penalties if the circumstances are serious. Therefore, it is illegal to sell disposable e-cigarettes privately without obtaining a tobacco monopoly retail license.

In addition, even if relevant licenses are obtained, the sale of e-cigarettes must strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations, including but not limited to ensuring product quality and not engaging in false propaganda. At the same time, it should also be noted that many regions across the country have issued policies to ban the sale of e-cigarettes, and it is also illegal to sell e-cigarettes at stalls in these regions.
