香港对替代烟草产品实施禁令，但销售电子烟的在线平台仍向该市交付产品。南华早报于2026年5月1日报道，发现多家平台销售电子烟产品，其中一些网站显示来自马来西亚和英国的联系方式。
一家平台宣传香港交付和售后服务，物品可在两天内到达。它附有免责声明：“由于不同地区法律不同，我们强烈建议您在购买前了解并确认当地法规。”声明还称：“确保产品符合当地法律以避免潜在法律风险是您的责任。如果购买产品违反当地法律，我们不提供补偿或承担法律责任。”
另一家注册于马来西亚的网站表示，物品从香港以外地区发货，通常两天内交付。它有类似通知，提醒客户确认产品符合当地法律，并称公司不对违反法律的产品提供补偿或法律责任。
这些发现促使当局加强监测和执法。
