 2Firsts Launches US PMTA Compliance Initiative to Support Business Growth
As global regulatory requirements and compliance enforcement for e-cigarettes intensify, 2Firsts has leveraged the strengths of its platform to integrate multi-dimensional resources and officially launched the '2Firsts Compliance Solutions' brand globally. Backed by a team of experts offering comprehensive insight, expertise, resources and integrated services, 2Firsts provides robust solutions to support companies through the PMTA application process.

The industry landscape is changing significantly as global e-cigarette compliance requirements and regulatory enforcement continue to tighten.

In response, 2Firsts - a leading media and think tank in atomisation technology - has integrated the diverse resources of its platform to launch the '2Firsts Compliance Solutions' brand globally. This service is designed to meet the growing demand for compliance services in the Chinese supply chain as companies navigate the shift to compliance.

 

To encourage more companies to transition to compliant operations, 2Firsts has introduced the 'Compliance Support Program', which offers special benefits to companies applying for the PMTA for the first time. The details of the programme are as follows:

 

  • Services Offered: US PMTA STN Number Application and Acceptance Letter Application Service
  • Eligibility: Companies initiating a US PMTA application for the first time
  • Discount : 30% discount on service fees
  • Duration : Effective immediately through 15 November 2024

PMI Launches Fourth IQOS Convenience-Store Discount of 2026 for Black Friday in Japan, Cutting ILUMA i ONE to About $19 After Ploom AURA Fell to About $9
PMI Launches Fourth IQOS Convenience-Store Discount of 2026 for Black Friday in Japan, Cutting ILUMA i ONE to About $19 After Ploom AURA Fell to About $9
Philip Morris Japan launched its fourth confirmed nationwide convenience-store discount campaign for IQOS ILUMA i devices in 2026 on October 26, cutting three models by as much as ¥2,000, or about $12.70. The campaign began one day after JT ended a promotion that reduced Ploom AURA to ¥1,480, or about $9.40. JT says Ploom's share of Japan's heated-products category rose from 10.9% in January 2024 to 18.3% in June 2026, a gain of 7.4 percentage points, while PMI says IQOS still held about 68% category share in the third quarter. At the same time, Japan's two-stage heated-tobacco tax adjustment has pushed stick prices higher, leaving device discounts as an increasingly important tool for lowering the upfront cost of customer acquisition.

Major U.S. Vape Distributor Demand Vape Pays at Least $300,000 for White House Lobbying Amid Enforcement Pressure
New York vape distributor Ecto World, which operates as Demand Vape, hired political consultant Roger Stone to lobby the Executive Office of the President on regulation of vaping and related products while facing state enforcement and multiple lawsuits. Public lobbying disclosures show that Ecto World paid at least $300,000 for the work through June 30, 2026. Separately, New York State announced in March that more than 28,500 pounds of vaping products tied to the company had been seized, while New York City and the state have pursued legal or enforcement actions. Public records do not show that the lobbying directly changed any specific regulatory or enforcement outcome.
