At the new starting point of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the e-cigarette regulatory system has entered version 2.0. The meeting emphasized that e-cigarette regulation should be deeply integrated into the main responsibilities and core work of high-quality development, adhere to the work orientation of “stronger rules and stricter regulation,” and push forward the detailed implementation of Regulatory System 2.0. For 2026, three priorities were set: highlighting standards guidance and overall coordination to advance rule-of-law-based regulation; maintaining close focus and differentiated measures to strengthen standardized management; and enhancing capabilities and emphasizing risk prevention to promote team professionalization.
