On March 19, 2FIRSTS released the "2024 Global New Tobacco Exhibition and Conference Blue Book," which provides a detailed summary of the overview, features, and trends of global new tobacco-related exhibitions in 2023.

2FIRSTS Releases

 

In 2023, 2FIRSTS focused on 42 new tobacco-related trade shows worldwide, participating in 14 of them and establishing official media partnerships with 8. In addition, 2FIRSTS conducted in-depth interviews with nearly 400 attendees. Throughout the year, 2FIRSTS accompanied individuals in the e-cigarette industry, providing on-site coverage and interviews at major trade shows.

 

In a comprehensive review of these exhibitions, 2FIRSTS discovered the following characteristics:

 

  1. Important exhibitions remain the top choice for companies to launch new products: Exhibitions have become the preferred platform for companies to introduce new products, as they serve as a market indicator, attracting a large amount of industry attention. 
  2. Global exhibitions demonstrate the Matthew effect: A few popular exhibitions experience high popularity, attracting a large number of exhibitors and visitors, while the influence of other exhibitions is relatively weak. 
  3. Regional exhibitions are on the rise, intensifying competition: With the industry's development, more and more regional exhibitions are emerging, leading to increasingly fierce competition among exhibitions. 
  4. Exhibitions have become a hotspot for enforcing regulations on illegal e-cigarettes: Emerging market exhibitions often pose policy risks and have become hotspots for enforcing regulations on illegal e-cigarettes, drawing the attention of regulatory authorities. 

 

The release of the "2024 Global New Tobacco Exhibition and Conference Blue Book" provides the industry with in-depth insights and valuable references, helping exhibitors better understand industry trends, plan exhibition strategies, and promote the healthy development of the industry.

 

In the future, 2FIRSTS will continue to monitor the development of the new tobacco industry, aiming to establish a communication bridge for the industry. We will release more industry reports to support the high-quality development of the industry.

Glas Says FDA Scientific Review Backed Several Flavored Products Before Senior Leaders Blocked Them
Glas says newly released internal FDA records show agency scientific reviewers supported authorization for several flavored G2 products before senior leadership halted them. According to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, FDA’s Office of Science first recommended marketing authorization for all eight products in December 2025 and later supported six of them in February 2026. FDA ultimately authorized only the G2 device and one tobacco-flavored pod in March.
