E-cigarette Awareness Campaign in Shanghai's Hongkou District
Shanghai's Hongkou district anti-drug workers and volunteers launched an e-cigarette prevention campaign in local tobacco shops.

According to Xinhua news, social workers and volunteers from the Ouyang Road Street in Hongkou District, Shanghai recently conducted a special anti-drug publicity campaign at local tobacco shops focusing on e-cigarettes. The aim of the campaign was to prevent criminals from adding substances such as methamphetamine and synthetic cannabinoids to e-cigarettes to lure others into using them.

 

During the event, anti-drug volunteers distributed pamphlets and small gifts to citizens who came to purchase tobacco, while educating them about the dangers of relying on "meow meow," "laughing gas," and synthetic cannabinoids. They reminded them to always visit legitimate stores when buying tobacco, and not to seek convenience by purchasing through online or illegal methods, which could lead to troubles.

 

Social workers and volunteers introduced the dangers of e-cigarettes to professionals in the field and distributed over 100 related informational materials.
