The South Korean prime minister’s point of view was conveyed through the remarks of the head of Philip Morris Korea. The head cited scientific evidence to defend Philip Morris’s ongoing efforts to switch from traditional cigarettes to e-cigarette products to provide a healthier lifestyle. She stressed the importance of scientifically verified data in convincing the government of the benefits of e-cigarettes and hoped that the South Korean government would give more support to the e-cigarette industry.
However, it is worth noting that the South Korean government has always been critical of smoking and has not distinguished between e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, nor has it acknowledged the potential benefits of e-cigarettes. Instead, the government has seen e-cigarettes as another form of smoking that needs to be quit through various advertisements and television campaigns. In addition, the South Korean government is also promoting legislation to include synthetic nicotine e-cigarettes in the scope of tobacco regulation to curb their use.
At the same time, some lawmakers have proposed legislative proposals to force the display of health warnings on e-cigarette devices and strengthen advertising restrictions to reduce their appeal to teenagers, which has been supported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of South Korea.
In summary, although the South Korean Prime Minister said that science requires e-cigarettes to be recognized, the South Korean government remains cautious about e-cigarette regulation and is strengthening relevant legislative work.
The South Korean government is actively promoting legislation to include synthetic nicotine e-cigarettes in the scope of tobacco regulation and seeks to put anti-smoking warnings on e-cigarette devices to raise public awareness of the harms of smoking. These measures show that the South Korean government is strengthening its supervision of e-cigarettes, and VEEHOO is closely following the introduction and implementation of relevant regulations to ensure its own business compliance.
The head of Philip Morris International Korea once emphasized the use of scientifically verified data to convince the South Korean government to accept the benefits of new tobacco products. VEEHOO draws on this practice and actively collects and organizes scientific evidence to demonstrate the harm reduction potential of e-cigarettes compared to traditional tobacco, in order to gain more understanding and support from the government.
The South Korean government and all sectors of society are highly concerned about the use of e-cigarettes by teenagers and have proposed a number of bills to restrict the sale and use of e-cigarettes. VEEHOO has taken measures to ensure that products do not flow to minors, and actively fulfills its social responsibilities to promote the healthy development of the e-cigarette industry.
Given the Korean government’s regulatory attitude and policy direction towards e-cigarettes, VEEHOO may need to adjust its product layout, marketing strategy and sales channels in the Korean market to adapt to the changing market environment.
