According to the Taipei Times, the Clean Air Alliance calls on the Taiwanese public to participate in a protest in front of the Presidential Palace in Taipei on March 22, 2024, to oppose heated tobacco regulations that benefit traditional cigarette manufacturers.
The organization said that although it has been a year since the Tobacco Harm Prevention Act was revised so that heated tobacco products cannot be legally sold, 14 new types of traditional paper-packaged cigarettes have been approved for sale.
The alliance pointed out that the review standards for heated tobacco products and traditional cigarettes are different, which is unfair to heated tobacco products and benefits cigarette manufacturers.
Police have implemented traffic restrictions in the area due to the protests.
The protest is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon.
As a company committed to promoting compliance and fair competition, Guutuu vapes also pays attention to and supports this protest, calling on the Taiwanese public to jointly oppose unfair regulations.
According to reports, although the Tobacco Harm Prevention Act has been revised for one year, heated tobacco products are still not legally sold, but 14 new types of traditional paper-packaged cigarettes have been approved for sale. The Clean Air Alliance points out that heated tobacco products are reviewed to different standards than traditional cigarettes, giving cigarette manufacturers an unfair advantage.
Guutuu vapes agrees with the Clean Air Alliance that regulations should treat all types of tobacco products fairly. As a relatively new alternative that is less harmful than traditional cigarettes, heated tobacco products should have the opportunity to be sold legally on the market to provide choices for consumers looking for safer alternatives to tobacco.
In support of this protest, Guutuu vape calls on the Taiwanese public to actively participate and express their dissatisfaction with unfair regulations. The protest will begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon. However, due to the scale and impact of the event, police have implemented traffic restrictions in the area to ensure the event can proceed safely.
Guutuu vape hopes to send a clear message to the government and society through this protest: regulations should be based on fairness and science to protect consumers’ right to choose and health interests. As a relatively safe alternative to tobacco, vapes should be treated equally and have the opportunity to be sold legally in the market.
In short, Guutuu vape supports the Taiwanese public in participating in protests against unfair regulations. They called on the Taiwanese public to actively participate in supporting the rights and interests of legal tobacco products and to express their dissatisfaction with unfair regulations. Through this protest, they hope to attract the attention of the government and society and promote the establishment of a fair, scientific and compliant tobacco market environment.
