The End of the Electronic Cigarette Industry is Here
China Bans ALL E-Cig Exports while we slept.
China has made a bold move against all electronic cigarette manufacturers and their customers by recent bans on ALL (not just some) electronic cigarette exports out of the country. In one single stroke, the e-cigarette industry has been fatally wounded by what China is calling “Operation Puff Not” (really, that’s the name of this operation).

Here’s what we know so far.
Wang Xia, the Director of Field Operations for the CCB in Shenzhen, has seized 700,000 e-cigarette products, including e-liquid and hardware, between March 29th and 30th, withoutprior notice to any affected company in the sting operation.

I hope this is a April fools day joke, we will all be hard hit, it could be a cure for shinnyitus.

[Taylor]

Doesn't seem to be anything mentioned in the mainstream media, so fingers crossed, it's a bad joke.

looks rather like a giant hoax for April fools day, given that the Chinese e-cig vendors are still online and selling, wouldn't be the first time some media company has started the trip early, funny thing half the links in the spin fuel post don't work and the other half are clones similar too but not quite right for the genuine news outlets .....

Just a tad early for an April Fool, it's now only 23:15 31/03 in China

Try tracking

It looks like a lot of the article was taken from the NewYork Times (http://timesnewyork.com/) not to be confused with the main newspaper The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/)

Article here: timesnewyork.com/e-cig-exports-banned-in-china
The 1st photo used is of the 2012 M6 ecig coach incident in the Daily Mirror
The 2nd photo used appears to relate to hoverboard seizure in the US
The 3rd photo relates to Uber taxis

Either they are using random stock pics to illustrate a story... or something isn't quite right and may well be a hoax.
