Hong Kong will ban the possession and use of e-cigarette cartridges in public by mid-2026, aiming to curb the prevalence of vaping despite a prior ban on the sale, import, and manufacture of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products.
Hong Kong targets ending vaping in public by mid-2026 after banning sale, import and manufacture on e-cigs
“To protect our young people, we believe it is time to ban the use of e-cigarette cartridges,” Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau said on a television programme. The ban will start with public places because there will be “many enforcement problems” in indoor areas. Following a 2022 law, anyone in Hong Kong who imports e-cigarettes can be punished by up to seven years in jail and a fine of HK$2 million , while sellers and manufacturers can be jailed for up to six months.
