Hong Kong Vaper Describes Addiction Struggle Amid Ban, Online Purchases
A 22-year-old Hongkonger named Elio began smoking at 16 while studying abroad in New Zealand and developed a nicotine addiction to cope with stress about his uncertain future. Despite suffering a collapsed lung in 2020, he resumed smoking and drinking, then switched to e-cigarettes when tobacco taxes rose. After Hong Kong banned vape sales in 2022, he restricted himself to one capsule every three days—equivalent to 20 cigarettes of nicotine—but continues purchasing pods online privately to avoid enforcement.
