Hong Kong Sees Surge In Cross-Border Travelers
Hong Kong authorities implemented a ban on alternative nicotine products, including electronic cigarettes, in public places starting Thursday. Hong Kong Department of Health Director Wong Man-kin announced a new policy to protect public health. New legislation in Hong Kong will prohibit the sale of all tobacco products. Director of Health Ronald Lamb stated that the law will not negatively impact the tourism industry. The government has launched awareness campaigns, including large-scale publicity and signage at airport entry points. Tobacco and Alcohol Control Office inspectors are distributing informational materials to tourists to ensure compliance with the new regulations. Convictions can also result in up to 6 months of imprisonment. Taxi drivers and passengers in Hong Kong are being urged to communicate clearly regarding electronic payments to avoid confusion.
