“One of China’s most adamantly anti-smoking cities has vowed to stop selling e-cigarettes near schools and reduce children’s exposure to secondhand smoke at home as part of a new “smoke-free communities” campaign. In a more focused update to its “smoke-free city” campaign launched in 2018, the southern metropolis of Shenzhen pledged Saturday to strictly prohibit the sale of not only tobacco products but also e-cigarettes within 50 meters of primary and middle schools. Shenzhen, despite producing around 95% of the world’s e-cigarettes, has some of the strictest e-cigarette policies in China, having last year included vaping under its ban on smoking in public.”
