Electronic cigarette ring today (October 26th) Another little boiled.

There was finally no news from the United States. According to a recent report by Bloomberg, the US House of Representatives fundraising committee approved the e-cigarette tax collection bill, which will be levied by the United States on nicotine liquids. The first tax. The purpose is to prevent young people from smoking e-cigarettes, because the price of e-cigarette products can be raised to a level that young people cannot afford.

The New York Democratic Party representative, Tom Sauss (Tom Suozzi), who initiated the legislation, said in a statement: “The cost of adding electronic cigarettes will be It is directly related to reducing the use of e-cigarette products. In addition, the U.S. Tax Joint Commission also pointed out that on the adoption and implementation of the new law, the next 10 years will bring nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars in revenue to federal policies.

Who is in the tax bill for e-cigarettes?

The e-cigarette winds in the United States are moving, and it is clear that the first one is the electronic cigarette giant JUUL.

There have been media calculations in the country, the nicotine content is 3% and the tax of 0.7 ml liquid is 0.68 US dollars, the average nicotine content of JUUL cigarettes is 5%, the smoke oil liquid is 0.7mL, taxable 1.15 dollars. As a result, the current US$15.99 group of JUUL cigarettes will increase by $4.6. However, for news that may be “taxed”, JUUL China told Tiger that it did not receive relevant notice.

With regard to the electronic cigarette tax, there is no relative official announcement in the United States. The specific situation still needs to wait for some time.

In the near-saturated, highly mature e-cigarette market in the United States, the topic remains constant. On August 23, the first suspected e-cigarette death in the United States occurred in Illinois, USA. The data show that at least 22 patients between the ages of 17 and 38 in the state have the same symptoms as the case after using e-cigarettes.

A few days after the fermentation, on September 12, Trump was in the White House and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) is in charge of the meeting to discuss the health threats posed by e-cigarettes and announced a ban on all non-traditional tobacco flavors in the US market Electronic cigarette. At the end of September, JUUL announced that CEO Kevin Burns (Kevin Burns) resigned as CEO, formerly Altria (Altria) Executive KCCrosthwaite took over and stopped advertising for all TV, online and paper media in the United States.

But at the end, The latest findings on lung injury caused by e-cigarette use indicate that the epidemic has played a role in the cannabis product: September 28, US disease control and The Prevention Center (CDC) published the “Annual Report on Morbidity and Mortality” on its official website, which stated that 77% of respondents used THC (THC), or both THC-containing products and nicotine-containing products.

Despite this, the panic caused by the e-cigarette crisis can’t be eliminated in a short period of time. In mid-September, Wal-Mart announced that it would stop selling e-cigarettes, followed by American supermarket chain Kroger and the largest chain pharmacy in the US. Walgreens also announced the suspension of electronic cigarettes.

Electronic cigarette tax can be said to be a fundamental plan issued by relevant US government agencies and has practical binding on e-cigarettes. In fact, the Philippines, Russia, etc. are actually controlling e-cigarettes through a series of means such as taxation.

The Philippines began to impose a consumption tax on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products since July, and then gradually introduced a bill to further increase the tax rate. Philippine Finance Minister Carlos Domingos (Carlos Dominguez) has recently stated that in the context of growing global concerns about the health risks of e-cigarettes The Philippines will increase the consumption tax to prevent more people from using e-cigarettes, but it is unlikely to prohibit the sale and use of such products. And this bill, may be e-cigarettes and heatingThe tax rate on tobacco products has increased more than fourfold.

Domingos said: “I don’t think we will ban it. We believe that e-cigarettes already exist and are very popular in the Philippines and cannot be banned.”

Russia has also increased its tax on electronic cigarettes. In the middle of this month, according to Reuters, Russian Health Minister Veronika Skvortsovam said that the Russian Ministry of Health has drafted a bill to impose a consumption tax on e-cigarettes and to prove that the proposed tax bill is “e-cigarettes are attracting people to smoke”. rationality.

Russia’s new law stipulates that from January 1, 2020, the consumption tax on all electronic nicotine delivery systems will increase year by year: the consumption tax on electronic atomized smoke and heating non-combustion equipment will increase to 50 rubles per seat(5.2 yuan), increased to 52 rubles in 2021(5.4 yuan)< /span>, in 2022, 54 rubles (5.6 yuan); in 2020, the consumption tax on e-cigarette liquid will be 13 rubles per 1 ml < Span class="text-remarks" label="remarks">(1.4 yuan), 14 rubles in 2021(1.5 yuan), 2022 is 15 rubles per 1 ml (1.6 yuan).

On October 23, the South Korean government also said that it will speed up research to decide whether to completely ban liquid electronic cigarettes, and has begun to recommend that people immediately stop using related products.

But some countries are more open. Unlike the big-headed crusade, some countries in the UK, New Zealand and Europe are trying to name the e-cigarette. For example, Martin Dockrell, head of tobacco control at the UK Ministry of Public Health, said: The problem is often caused by consumers who buy or make illegal illicit liquids on the streets. Most illegal illiquids contain cannabis ingredients, such as THC. These products come from the black market and are not the same as e-cigarettes purchased through regular channels.

Turning to look at the country, the puzzle is still to be solved.

What will the e-cigarette tax bring?

The legendary e-cigarette national standard that will arrive in October has no exact news yet.

Blue Hole New Consumption was written last month, Country The official website of the Standards Committee once took the law to check the progress of the national standard related to electronic cigarettes. However, the previous screenshots show that the first one is the “E-cigarette” national standard, which is reported and executed by TC144(National Tobacco Standardization Technical Committee). The competent authority is the National Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and has entered the “in the process of approval”.

The second national standard is “Gas Chromatography for Determination of Nicotine, Propylene Glycol and Glycerol in Electronic Cigarettes”, also by TC144(National Tobacco Standardization Technology The committee) is reported and executed, and the competent department is the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau. Previously, the national standard has also entered the “in the process of approval”, and it is suspected that it has exceeded the cycle. However, the e-cigarette national standard information from the standard website official website does not rule out the new version of the website revision.

When did the national standard appear, some people in the industry said that it was “early early”, and there were rumors that the release of the national standard had been postponed until next year.

The future management of e-cigarettes is likely to be the National Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, and e-cigarette tax is also likely to be the next management action. First of all, the first layer of e-cigarette tax is still like the US believes that it can help reduce the use of e-cigarettes by minors. But obviously, it is still impossible to completely eliminate it. Adult smoking e-cigarettes is a long-tailed proposition that needs to be addressed from all angles.

In addition, the arrival of e-cigarette tax can help accelerate the reshuffle of the e-cigarette industry to a certain extent.

The national standard has not yet landed, which gives all e-cigarette brands more breathing opportunities. For e-cigarette companies that have insufficient product compliance and low financing capacity and unhealthy cash flow, the e-cigarette tax is basically the day when the end of the run.

At present, tobacco-related taxes and fees are being collected in China.
