<p>香港当局将在加强控烟措施的下一阶段打击香味烟草制品，卫生部长将此类产品形容为 “毒酒杯”，旨在吸引年轻人。卫生署署长罗宗铨周六警告称，香味烟草主要通过电子烟传播，添加剂中含有薄荷或糖衣毒素，用以掩盖烟草的苦味和气味，吸引年轻消费者。他在一档广播节目中表示：“大约 70% 的年轻人第一次吸入尼古丁是来自香味香烟，这使他们容易上瘾。” 他说：“我们已经推出了 10 项短期控烟措施，下一步将针对香味物质的监管，包括那些含有糖衣毒素以掩盖其有毒化学物质和烟草气味的产品。” 罗没有透露香味香烟监管的具体细节，仅表示所有香烟的包装将在后期进行标准化。“这些香味香烟以玩具般的五彩包装呈现，以吸引年轻人。它们的包装将会被标准化，” 他说。香港于 4 月 30 日扩大了对替代吸烟产品的禁令，禁止在公共场所拥有或使用电子烟和蒸汽烟。任何在公共场所携带超过五个蒸汽烟烟弹或 100 个加热棒的人，最高可被罚款 50,000 港元（6,400 美元）并面临最长六个月的监禁，而携带较少数量的人将面临 3,000 港元的固定罚款。罗指出，香港的吸烟率去年已从 2023 年的 9.1% 降至 8.5%，吸烟者人数和香烟消费量均显著下降。他对进一步降低这些数字表示信心。去年香港有 538,100 名吸烟者，比疫情前减少了近 10 万人。平均每日香烟消费量也从 2019 年至 2021 年的 12.7 支降至 2023 年至 2025 年的 10.9 支，下降了 10%。罗指出，当局将在 6 月推出 “戒烟月”，采取各种措施帮助吸烟者戒烟。罗承认吸烟者的尼古丁成瘾问题，他表示其局正在全市 300 家社区药房和地区健康中心分发尼古丁贴片。同时还为吸烟者提供基于传统中医的戒烟方法，如耳种子和针灸。本周早些时候，政府推出了 “戒烟聊天”，这是由香港大学开发的人工智能聊天机器人，旨在为居民（包括年轻人）提供咨询和帮助戒烟。</p>

<p>香港卫生署署长罗宗铨宣布，下一阶段的控烟措施将针对香味烟草，特别是电子烟，以防止青少年成瘾。香味产品将面临更严格的监管，包括标准化包装。最新数据显示，香港的吸烟率去年降至 8.5%，吸烟者超过 53.8 万人。有关部门正在实施额外的戒烟支持措施，如尼古丁贴片、传统医学方法和人工智能聊天机器人，并计划在 6 月开展 “戒烟月” 活动</p>

<p>Hong Kong authorities will crack down on flavoured tobacco substances in the next phase of their enhanced smoking control measures, with the health minister describing such products as a “poisoned chalice” designed to hook younger people. Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau warned on Saturday that flavoured tobacco was mostly delivered through e-cigarettes, with additives containing menthol or sugar-coated toxins used to mask the bitterness and smell of tobacco and attract young consumers. “About 70 per cent of young people’s first puff of nicotine comes from flavoured cigarettes, which make them easily addicted to smoking,” he told a radio programme. “We have rolled out 10 short-term tobacco control measures, and our next step will target the regulation of flavoured substances, including those containing sugar-coated poison to mask their toxic chemicals and the tobacco smell.” Lo stopped short of revealing the details of the regulation of flavoured cigarettes, saying only that packaging for all cigarettes would be standardised at a later stage. “These flavoured cigarettes are presented with colourful packaging like toys to attract youngsters. Their packaging will be standardised,” he said. Hong Kong expanded its ban on alternative smoking products on April 30, making it illegal to possess or use vapes and e-cigarettes in public spaces. Anyone found carrying more than five vape pods or 100 heat sticks in public faces a maximum fine of HK$50,000 (US$6,400) and up to six months in jail, while those with smaller quantities will receive a fixed penalty of HK$3,000. Lo pointed out that Hong Kong’s smoking rate had dropped to 8.5 per cent last year from 9.1 per cent in 2023, with significant declines in both the number of smokers and the volume of cigarettes consumed. He expressed confidence in further reducing these figures. Hong Kong had 538,100 smokers last year, a decline of nearly 100,000 from pre-pandemic levels. Average daily cigarette consumption also fell from 12.7 between 2019 and 2021 to 10.9 between 2023 and 2025, a 10 per cent drop. Lo pointed out that the authorities would roll out a “quit smoking month” in June, with various measures aimed at helping smokers give up. Acknowledging nicotine addiction among smokers, Lo said his bureau was distributing nicotine patches at 300 community pharmacies and district health centres across the city. It was also offering smokers traditional Chinese medicine-based cessation methods, such as ear seeds and acupuncture. Earlier this week, the government launched “Chat to Quit”, an AI-powered chatbot developed by the University of Hong Kong to provide counselling and help residents, including young people, quit smoking.</p>
