Juul, in which tobacco giant Altria Group (MO. N) owns a 35% stake, launches its products in international markets such as Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines. It recently raised more than $ 750 million in an expanded funding round.

A notice posted on Juul’s official virtual store on Tmall, Alibaba’s e-Commerce site, said it opened on September 9. Juul also had a similar store on JD.com, another major Chinese online retailer.

The Chinese government is constantly conducting anti-Smoking campaigns to improve public health. Earlier this year, he released a draft document suggesting that Chinese laws governing e-cigarettes would eventually be largely similar to laws in Europe.
