It is a relatively mature market in Southeast Asia, and is expected to continue to grow.


The exhibition will take place at the Jakarta International Expo in Indonesia, covering an area of over 12,000 square meters. It will showcase a variety of electronic cigarettes and other products within the industry chain, attracting an estimated 10,000 visitors. More than 100 exhibitors, including well-known electronic cigarette brands such as Yooz, Yogi, SnowPlus, Laimi and Smoore, will be participating. Some of these brands will launch new products during the exhibition.


The IECIE Indonesia Jakarta Electronic Cigarette Exhibition will be closely monitored by 2FIRSTS, who will provide live updates throughout the event. The media company has previously reported on high-profile tobacco and e-cigarette expos in Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom, establishing news centers in London, New York, and Moscow.

Iowa House says governor’s tobacco and vape tax hikes are in a “holding pattern”
Radio Iowa reported that House Speaker Pat Grassley said House Republicans are wrestling with Gov. Kim Reynolds’ proposal to raise Iowa’s tax on tobacco products and impose a new 15% sales tax on vaping products. Grassley said the idea is in a “holding pattern,” noting it does not align neatly with recent Republican moves to cut income taxes, and that House Republicans already removed the proposed tax increase from the governor’s MAHA bill.
