[TSvape]RELX was invited to participate in the e-cigarette legislation of the New Zealand and Philippine Parliament

According to the New Zealand media Scoop, on April 10, the New Zealand Parliamentary Health Special Committee reviewed the "Smoke-free Environment and Regulated Products (Vapor) Amendment Bill" and discussed the regulatory policies related to E-cigarettes.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, the New Zealand Parliament's Health Select Committee deliberated the e-cigarette bill by video conference. As industry representatives, RELX and its New Zealand partner Mission Limited were invited to participate in the review meeting and delivered a video speech.

Jonathan Ng, director of external affairs at RELX, said in a video speech that the draft bill very correctly strikes a balance between supporting smokers to switch to less harmful products and protecting minors.

The regulation and legislation of e-cigarettes is a global issue. RELX is introducing a number of standardized measures that have been actively adopted around the world into New Zealand.

RELX ensures product quality and safety by establishing strict corporate standards, standardized production standards, and continuous R&D investment. In the absence of clear regulatory requirements, RELX voluntarily prohibits the use of minors and health warnings in all product packaging and related materials.

Louisa Wall, Chairman of the Special Committee on Health, showed great interest in RELX's measures to prevent minors from contacting e-cigarettes through technical means. Wu Wenhao introduced the built-in child lock function and age authentication system of RELX i products, so that the products must pass strict age verification before they can be used. In the case of Bluetooth connection, users can also use the app to remotely Lock out Inspiration equipment to prevent unauthorized use of the product.
