For the purpose of this review, we will use the term “HTP” when referring to a “heated tobacco product.”

“E-baraku or electronic cigarette” means a device of any material that uses electrical energy to produce smoke, steam, or vapor like cigarette smoke to inhale smoke in the same way as smoking a cigarette. This includes all assembles for baraku or e-cigarettes.

The definition of “e-baraku or electronic cigarette” is considered by regulators to encompass HTP devices.

This definition is significant because the law bans the manufacture, import, and sale, of e-cigarettes, which includes HTP devices as they are “a device…that uses electrical energy to produce smoke, steam, or vapor like cigarette smoke to inhale smoke in the same way as smoking a cigarette.”

“Chemical Compounds for Baraku, E-Liquids for E-Baraku and E-Cigarettes” means substances, extracts, or anything else in baraku, e-baraku, or e-cigarettes. This includes plants, fruits, preserved plants, and preserved fruits that produce smoke, steam, or vapor for baraku, e-baraku, or e-cigarette.

The definition of “chemical compounds for baraku, e-liquids for e-baraku and e-cigarettes” is considered by regulators to encompass tobacco inserts.

This definition is significant because the law bans the manufacture, import, and sale of the liquid for e-cigarettes, which includes tobacco inserts because they are a “substance that… produce[s] smoke, steam, or vapor for…e-cigarette[s].”

“Manufacturing” means making, mixing, enhancing, preparing, inventing, or transforming as well as changing, modifying, selecting, or dividing into packages.

This definition is significant because the law prohibits the manufacture of tobacco inserts and HTP devices.
