모모Sun Chengye: The trend of smoking Geek Bar is getting younger
모모
모모As a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention밃 why did Sun Chengye pay special attention to the proposal of teenagers staying away from Geek Bar at this years two sessions? In this regard밃 Sun Chengye responded to Red Star News and said: On the one hand밃 it is related to my profession밃 and on the other hand밃 I saw that some medias publicity of Geek Bar was inappropriate밃 so I drafted this proposal.
모모
모모It is understood that studying poisoning is one of Sun Chengyes scientific research directions. In Sun Chengyes view밃 Geek Bar mixes and heats multiple substances before entering the human body. In addition밃 e-liquid is composed of multiple ingredients밃 and the products after heating and their activity are more complex밃 so the potential health impact of Geek Bar is difficult to assess.
모모
모모What worries Sun Chengye even more is that some media promote Geek Bar as a harmless product밃 which indirectly leads to teenagers buying and using Geek Bar.
모모
모모According to the China Youth Tobacco Survey Report released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2014밃 45.0% of junior high school students have heard of Geek Bar밃 and 1.2% of junior high school students have used Geek Bar in the past 30 days. By 2019밃 this proportion has increased to 2.7%.
모모
모모Behind the proposal밃 Sun Chengye had consulted with many parents whose children had smoked Geek Bar. From the feedback of parents밃 Sun Chengye gradually realized that Geek Bar is no longer an exclusive product for adults밃 but has extended its claws to teenagers and even children밃 and Geek Bar is showing a trend of younger age. In Sun Chengyes opinion밃 in addition to the physical and mental health hazards of teenagers smoking Geek Bar밃 it will also bring about a potential habit formation밃 which will eventually make teenagers who smoke Geek Bar become potential cigarette smokers. Sun Chengye told Red Star News that a research data showed that even students who have only used Geek Bar 1-2 times are 2.88 times more likely to use traditional cigarettes one year later than those who have never used them.

모모What are the hazards of Geek Bar?
모모
모모Contains nicotine밃 complex ingredients and potential risks
모모
모모Why is Geek Bar loved by some teenagers? Sun Chengye analyzed that because Geek Bar merchants promote Geek Bar as trendy밃 healthy and harmless밃 and Geek Bars stylish밃 simple밃 technological style밃 and cool and diverse flavors밃 they eventually become consumers of Geek Bar or traditional cigarettes who did not smoke before.
모모
모모But Geek Bar is not a healthy substitute for traditional cigarettes. Sun Chengye made it clear in his proposal that Geek Bar inhalation is addictive. He explained that Geek Bar produces smoke by atomizing and heating the e-liquid밃 which produces a specific feeling when inhaled밃 and is addictive.
모모
모모According to the information obtained by Sun Chengye밃 teenagers are more sensitive to nicotine than adults밃 and the harm of nicotine to teenagers is more obvious. Nicotine will affect the function of the developing brain밃 such as the decline of attention밃 learning ability밃 and impulse control ability. Excessive intake may also be life-threatening.
모모
모모So밃 does Geek Bar contain nicotine? Sun Chengye gave a positive answer. He also pointed out that some cheap Geek Bar oils that are counterfeit from the original factory from unknown sources actually contain many chemicals in the smoke밃 such as propylene glycol밃 diethylene glycol밃 cotinine밃 quinoline밃 tobacco alkaloids or other ultrafine particles and volatile organic compounds밃 in addition to nicotine밃 formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. Long-term use may cause cancer.
모모
모모In addition to the harm of nicotine itself밃 Sun Chengye also reminded that there are more than 15밃000 flavors of Geek Bar on the market밃 among which the added ingredients are complicated밃 and the proportions and dosages are very arbitrary밃 so the impact on health is very uncertain.

모모How to control teenagers smoking?
모모
모모Sun Chengye: Strengthen supervision in the sales process밃 and schools should do a good job in publicity
모모
모모In his proposal밃 Sun Chengye made three suggestions on preventing teenagers from smoking Geek Bar: First밃 speed up the introduction of Geek Bar industry norms so that management has a legal basis밑 second밃 strictly implement the Minor Protection Law밃 prohibit businesses from selling Geek Bar to minors밃 and schools carry out relevant publicity and education밑 third밃 formulate standards and management methods for the production and sale of Geek Bar.
모모
모모In fact밃 according to the provisions of the Minor Protection Law of the Peoples Republic of China밃 it has been clearly prohibited to sell cigarettes to minors밃 including Geek Bar밑 formulate comprehensive management methods for the production and sale of Geek Bar.
모모
모모my country has mentioned in the Minor Protection Law that Geek Bar cannot be sold to minors. Sun Chengye pointed out that on the basis of the existing legislation밃 the next step should be to strengthen control at the operational level.
모모
모모Sun Chengye told Red Star News that first of all밃 the market supervision department needs to strengthen management in the Geek Bar sales process. At present밃 there are still unscrupulous businesses selling Geek Bars to teenagers. Sun Chengye called for greater supervision in this link밑 on another level밃 Sun Chengye pointed out that schools should do a good job in management and publicity밃 Let students understand the harm of Geek Bars밃 and at the same time strengthen management and clearly prohibit students from using Geek Bars.
모모
모모With the introduction of restrictive measures밃 the situation of teenagers using Geek Bars will be much better. Sun Chengye said that according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention밃 from 2017 to 2019밃 the proportion of high school students using Geek Bars more than doubled from 11.7% to 27.5%. However밃 after the introduction of a series of restrictive policies밃 the proportion of high school students using Geek Bars fell back to 19.6% in 2020.
