South Korean Bill proposed to mandate anti-smoking warnings on e-cigarettes

The Ministry of Health and Welfare in Seoul supports a legislative proposal for health warnings on e-cigarettes. Various Bills aim to amend tobacco regulations to include e-cigarettes, addressing marketing and tax loopholes. Proposed changes include warning labels on devices and advertising restrictions to reduce appeal to youth. Despite e-cigarettes' popularity, regulations struggle to keep pace. Youth e-cigarette use has increased, with many transitioning to regular cigarettes. The Ministry's endorsement signifies a move towards stricter controls on new tobacco products.
