Indonesia, as the second-largest tobacco market in Asia, has 56.3 million tobacco product users, and its electronic vapor market value reached $239 million in 2021. 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. Based on their professional reporting capabilities, 2FIRSTS will focus on the Southeast Asian e-cigarette market, capturing the latest industry developments and offering reliable sources of information for Chinese e-cigarette companies seeking to expand into Southeast Asia.


As a well-known international exhibition organizer in the industry, IECIE will continue to expand its international reach after the Jakarta exhibition in Indonesia, with upcoming exhibitions to be held in Malaysia, the United States, and other regions. 2FIRSTS, as IECIE's global partner and friendly collaborator, will continue to cover and report on these events.

Philippines Weighs Unified Vape Tax as Lawmakers Back Risk-Based Rates and Government Seeks to Fill ₱66 Billion Revenue Gap
Philippines Weighs Unified Vape Tax as Lawmakers Back Risk-Based Rates and Government Seeks to Fill ₱66 Billion Revenue Gap
Philippine lawmakers are considering an overhaul of the country's vape excise-tax regime to eliminate the wide gap between taxes on nicotine salt and freebase nicotine liquids and reduce incentives for misdeclaration. House Bill 5364, filed by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez and Rep. Maximo Rodriguez Jr., would impose a unified ₱10-per-milliliter tax on vapor products, with 5% annual increases beginning in 2027. Rodriguez says the proposal could generate an average ₱6 billion in annual collections from 2027 through 2030. The debate comes as the Philippine government considers tobacco, vape and other health-tax reforms to help offset around ₱66 billion in revenue expected to be forgone under a proposed tax-relief package.
