Alan Zhao stated that with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continuously strengthening its regulation and enforcement of the e-cigarette market, compliance in the e-cigarette industry has become a crucial issue that companies cannot afford to overlook. In the face of market changes, companies must pay close attention to compliance services in order to ensure their sustainable and steady development.

In order to deepen mutual understanding and cooperation, Alan Zhao on behalf of 2FIRSTS presented Tom with the "2024 Global New Tobacco Regulation Report" (English version) produced by 2FIRSTS.

Special report｜Indonesia's Vape Industry Has 200 Manufacturers and $1.7 Billion in Investment. Could a Regulatory Divide Derail Its Rise as the World's No. 2 Manufacturing Hub After Shenzhen?
Special report｜Indonesia's Vape Industry Has 200 Manufacturers and $1.7 Billion in Investment. Could a Regulatory Divide Derail Its Rise as the World's No. 2 Manufacturing Hub After Shenzhen?
Indonesia's Ministry of Industry said at a November 3, 2026, policy forum that the country has about 200 electronic cigarette companies, Rp31 trillion (approximately $1.71 billion) in cumulative industry investment and around 100,000 jobs across the supply chain. The National Narcotics Agency is seeking a comprehensive ban on vape use and circulation, while the industry ministry favors tighter import, product-standard and distribution controls. Indonesia exported approximately $518 million in vaping products in 2025, and Chinese manufacturers including Smoore, GEEKVAPE and Jinjia Group have established local operations. An international logistics specialist interviewed by 2Firsts said more Chinese vape companies began production in Indonesia from the second half of 2025, accompanied by increased shipments of manufacturing equipment and investment in logistics facilities. The regulatory debate comes as Indonesia expands its role in international vaping manufacturing.

Russia's State Duma Passes Tobacco and Nicotine Ingredient Disclosure Bill, Targeting 2027 End to Trade-Secret Protection for Certain Harmful Ingredient Data
Russia's State Duma Passes Tobacco and Nicotine Ingredient Disclosure Bill, Targeting 2027 End to Trade-Secret Protection for Certain Harmful Ingredient Data
Russia's State Duma passed a government-sponsored amendment on November 11, 2026, by 414 votes to none, seeking to prevent businesses from classifying information on the presence and number of types of certain harmful ingredients in tobacco and nicotine-containing products as trade secrets. The measure covers ingredients capable of increasing nicotine dependence or exhibiting toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxicity, including substances that acquire such properties during heating or smoldering. Bill No. 1286415-8 would amend Article 5 of Federal Law No. 98-FZ on Commercial Secrets and is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027. The bill has cleared all three readings in the State Duma but has not completed the remaining legislative procedures.

Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts ruled in September 2026 that a combustible product made with non-tobacco plant material and 6-methylnicotine (6-MN), a synthetic nicotine analog, qualifies as a taxable tobacco product. The applicant said the product contained neither tobacco leaf nor measurable conventional nicotine. The determination applies reasoning from a May Texas Supreme Court decision involving VELO nicotine pouches, finding that the plant material and 6-MN together perform the functions of tobacco in a conventional smoking product. The ruling carries applicable tax, licensing and reporting obligations but is limited to the facts submitted by the taxpayer. It does not establish a blanket tax classification for all 6-MN products or extend the same conclusion to e-cigarettes.
