The extraction of high-purity nicotine from tobacco by Hong Kong and China biology meets the requirements of the measures for the administration of electronic cigarettes, and its market scale will continue to increase with the compliance of China's electronic cigarette market. Ganghua biology has submitted an application for the license of tobacco monopoly production enterprise (nicotine for electronic cigarette) to the local Provincial Tobacco Monopoly Bureau.
The company has gradually promoted the sales layout of e-cigarettes in the "the Belt and Road" countries through a network of more than 300 dealers and customers in more than 100 countries.

The company said that it is actively preparing the application for various e-cigarette licenses to ensure legal compliance in the production and operation of e-cigarettes in China. The company will timely capture industry opportunities, build its own brand, constantly improve the strategic layout of e-cigarette field, and further expand its industrial scale and comprehensive strength in this field.
