HONG KONG
A survey by Hong Kong’s Census and Statistics Department, done between June and September 2017, shows that more citizens have tried electronic smoking devices, including e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products, compared to a survey in 2015.
The survey revealed that the number of daily e-cigarette users was 5,700 persons in 2017, while no significant number was recorded in 2015.
A separate survey conducted by the University of Hong Kong School of Public Health showed improvements in students’ use of e-cigarettes, yet there were still about 0.8% of secondary students who were current e-cigarette users.
