According to Scmp on November 27, the Hong Kong Health Bureau warned that vapes are gradually becoming a tool for drug abuse because these devices can be easily filled with drugs and are not easy to detect.
The Tobacco and Alcohol Control Office, a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Health Bureau, said on Wednesday (27th) that they have recently handled some cases in which the “space oil” in vape cartridges looks exactly the same as the oil contained in other products.
Dr Fung Ying, head of the office, pointed out that “these cartridges containing illegal drugs are no different in appearance from ordinary vape oil cartridges.”
“Space oil” is one of the drugs in high demand in the city and is usually put into vape cartridges. It contains etomidate, an anesthetic that requires a doctor’s prescription and is currently classified as a Class 1 poison.
The Hong Kong government announced a series of proposed measures on June 10, which include amending the law to ban the possession of alternative tobacco products. The Health Bureau said it is drafting the details of the legislative proposal and has contacted lawmakers for their opinions. These legal changes are expected to be submitted to the Legislative Council in late 2024 or early 2025.

The following are some common ways to identify vape anti-counterfeiting labels
Vape anti-counterfeiting labels usually use some advanced technical means to ensure the authenticity and safety of products. The following are some common ways to identify vape anti-counterfeiting labels:
Anti-counterfeiting dissolving labels: This type of label usually changes color or dissolves after being heated or damp, thereby reminding consumers of the authenticity of the product. Consumers can verify the authenticity of the product by observing the changes in the label.
QR code anti-counterfeiting: The anti-counterfeiting label may contain a QR code, and consumers can verify the authenticity of the product by scanning the QR code. After scanning, the system will provide relevant information, such as production batch, product verification, etc.
Security label: The anti-counterfeiting label of the vape may contain some special security elements, such as micro-text, anti-counterfeiting lines, special patterns, etc. These features can only be seen under certain conditions and help to confirm the authenticity of the product.
Digital anti-counterfeiting code: Each vape product may be equipped with a unique digital anti-counterfeiting code, and consumers can verify it by calling a specific phone number or logging in to the official website to enter the anti-counterfeiting code.
Dedicated verification platform: vapes may provide a dedicated verification platform or mobile phone App, through which consumers can enter product-related information or anti-counterfeiting codes to confirm the authenticity of the product.
By combining the above multiple technical means, Veehoo vapes’ anti-counterfeiting labels can provide consumers with effective product authenticity identification guarantees, help consumers avoid purchasing counterfeit and shoddy products, and ensure that they purchase genuine vapes that meet quality standards and safety requirements. When consumers purchase Veehoo vapes, they should carefully check and correctly use the verification method of the anti-counterfeiting label to ensure the authenticity of the purchased product.
