E-cigarettes and other new tobacco products, including heat-not-burn (HNB) tobacco products are marketed as trendy products attracting non-smokers, particularly the youngsters to try. Some smokers may switch to these products instead of quitting smoking. Harmful chemicals were also found in e-cigarettes and other new tobacco products, bringing health risks to the public.

Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health (COSH) organizes the “Support to enact a total ban on e-cigarettes and other new tobacco products” Signatory Campaign to urges the Government to totally ban electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and other new tobacco products, including heat-not-burn (HNB) tobacco products to safeguard public health. Timeline to ban smoking should also be formulated to achieve a smoke-free Hong Kong.
