May.19.2023
2FIRSTS reports on latest e-cigarette trends at Stuttgart and Birmingham exhibitions, highlighting regulation, innovation and sustainability.

In May, the electronic cigarette exhibitions in Stuttgart, Germany and Birmingham, UK concluded successfully. 2FIRSTS participated throughout both exhibitions and provided readers who are interested in the development of electronic cigarettes with up-to-the-minute coverage.

 

At the Stuttgart electronic cigarette exhibition in Germany, 2FIRSTS actively participated in in-depth exchanges and interviews with exhibitors, industry experts, and consumers.

 

The representatives from 2FIRSTS witnessed German law enforcement authorities conducting inspections and law enforcement activities at the trade fair, which demonstrated the importance that German organizations place on compliance and quality. During discussions with exhibitors and professionals from the German e-cigarette industry, it was found that disposable e-cigarette products are being questioned by local practitioners, while interchangeable e-cigarette products are favored by industry insiders. These observations reflect their awareness and considerations of the future German e-cigarette market.

 

The electronic cigarette exhibition in Birmingham, UK was also full of exciting and diverse offerings, providing a platform for innovation and trends within the industry. 2FIRSTS gained insight into the needs and concerns of exhibitors and industry professionals through communication and interaction at the event.

 

Distributors have weighed in on the recent "excessive levels of chemicals in e-cigarette liquid" incident in the UK, stating that it has caused some impact on the industry, but also serves as a warning to prioritize product quality and safety. Major e-cigarette brands have introduced their new products and technologies at the exhibition, with representatives highlighting the importance of industry sustainability and green circular development through their e-cigarette recycling program. They stated that they will promote the collection and reuse of e-cigarette products to reduce their impact on the environment and actively participate in industry sustainable development initiatives.

 

During these two exhibitions, 2FIRSTS focused on the regulatory trends of electronic cigarettes in Europe, manufacturers' technological innovations, and future trends in electronic cigarette products.

 

The 2FIRSTS team not only conducted interviews and coverage at the exhibition site, but also disseminated the latest industry news to readers through various channels. During the exhibition, 2FIRSTS' website and social media platforms became an important source for readers to obtain reliable information.

 

The recent electronic cigarette exhibitions in Stuttgart, Germany and Birmingham, UK brought new opportunities and insights for the industry. 2FIRSTS will continue to follow the developments in the electronic cigarette industry and is committed to providing professional, objective and comprehensive coverage to its readers.

BAT New Categories Revenue Rises 18% in H1 2026 as Broad Portfolio Offers More Ways to Win—and Lose
British American Tobacco’s New Category revenue rose 18% at constant rates in the first half of 2026. Nicotine-pouch brand Velo expanded rapidly, while Vuse recovered as U.S. enforcement against illicit e-vapor products strengthened. Heated-tobacco platform glo remained under pressure, and cigarettes continued to provide most of the group’s profit and cash. Compared with PMI and JT, BAT has more routes to growth—but also greater regulatory, investment and execution risks across its broader portfolio.
