After 2 decades of development, the e-cigarette industry has become a highly focused global industry, whose pace is not showing any signs of slowing. However, this sector will encounter various challenges in terms of market, regulation, public health and public opinion. All parts of the sector will overcome these challenges with innovation. Against this backdrop, the industry is in great need of a global media outlet like 2FIRSTS to serve as a solid bridge to face the future e-cigarette market and all the challenges that lie ahead with every practitioner, said Echo Guo.

Jason then opened with "20 years of vaping" of Chinese e-cigarettes, sharing the export data and major overseas markets of Chinese e-cigarette manufacturers, thus emphasizing the importance of Chinese e-cigarette companies in the industry and the status of Shenzhen as the global "vape valley". Jason explained the Chinese e-cigarette regulatory system from the perspective of the industrial chain and conveyed the concept of legal, compliant and high-quality development of the Chinese e-cigarette industry.

 

The establishment of the 2FIRSTS London Press Center is inseparable from the strong support of ECCC. As a bridge between the government and enterprises, ECCC plays a significant role not only in guiding the standard development of enterprises, regulations, policy implementation, corporate compliance, and industry sustainability but also importantly in opening up a broad European market for more domestic enterprises, allowing them to obtain overseas cooperation opportunities and hot-spot frontier information of the overseas markets.

2FIRSTS London Press Center will be based in the UK to cover the entire European market and regulatory activities, truly bridging the Chinese e-cigarette industrial chain with the European market.

2FIRSTS has established cooperation with the Independent European Vape Association (IEVA), the Independent British Vape Trade Association (IBVTA), and the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA). 2FIRSTS will integrate its resources and make use of the geographical and resource advantages of the UK to follow up on the latest developments more comprehensively on the UK and European e-cigarette market.

 

The London Press Center is only the first step towards "global information in the vaping industry". 2FIRSTS will eventually establish press centers in other regions of the globe.

WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
U.S. technology and investigative publication WIRED has examined how nicotine analogs are emerging as a new challenge for the country’s vape regulatory framework. The article argues that after the U.S. expanded federal oversight of nicotine products in 2022, some manufacturers began using nicotine-like compounds such as 6-methyl-nicotine that may fall outside existing definitions. Researchers cited by WIRED said some nicotine analogs could be more potent than traditional nicotine, although human health impacts remain unclear. U.S. policymakers are considering broader definitions of nicotine to bring these compounds under federal oversight.
