1.This notice is issued in accordance with the resolution of the Executive Yuan’s Interagency Anti-Drug Task Force Meeting held on June 16, 2026, and the Ministry of Education’s letter dated July 14, 2026 (Ref. No. Tai-Jiao-Xue (5) 1152802827).
2.Recently, emerging drugs have frequently been disguised as e-cigarette cartridges, particularly those containing etomidate (commonly referred to as "zombie vape cartridges"). These products pose serious risks to the physical and mental health of young people and may lead to public safety hazards, including traffic accidents. Enhanced prevention and public awareness efforts are therefore urgently needed.
3.Effective immediately, all units are requested to actively utilize electronic display boards, LED scrolling marquees, public announcement systems, video walls, and official institutional (or school) websites, as well as other available communication channels within their areas of responsibility, to frequently display and broadcast the Ministry of Education-approved promotional messages and images (see attachment). Units are also encouraged to incorporate these materials into campus activities, courses, and other educational initiatives to maximize the effectiveness of the campaign.
4.Relevant promotional materials may be downloaded from the following websites:
