BEIJING - Chinese authorities including the Ministry of Public Security and the national market regulator have jointly launched a campaign to crack down on selling electronic cigarettes to minors as well as related crimes.

Before the end of April, the authorities will take a series of tough measures including clearing out e-cigarette sales outlets and vending machines in the vicinity of schools, canceling unlicensed business sites and deleting some harmful online information in this regard, said the MPS on Tuesday.
