Taiwan heated tobacco products fail labelling test
Posted on 2025-10-18 15:09:14
Recently approved "heated tobacco products" were removed from shelves on
their first day in stores yesterday -- as they failed to adhere to nicotine
labelling requirements.

Heated tobacco products are like e-cigarettes in that they're smoked using a
battery-powered device, but they differ in that the devices heat tobacco
leaves -- not liquids.

The government provisionally approved 14 heated tobacco products from two
companies a couple of years ago, and they were allowed to go on sale
yesterday.

However, Health and Welfare Minister Shi Chongliang said today that he
personally participated in a surprise inspection of the products. Eight of
them were found to have inadequate nicotine labelling.

Shi noted that during the approval process, samples of the products were
properly labelled. Fines are likely forthcoming.
