"Vuse Zero Nic Sensations" will be launching four flavors and will be sold at recommended retail price of 1,480 yen (including tax) ($9.27) at FamilyMart convenience stores, Amazon, and vape studios in Tokyo.

 

The new product is a nicotine-free disposable e-cigarette with a compact box design, upgrading from the previous stick-like devices. It features a built-in battery that does not require charging. Additionally, the device has a transparent design to view the remaining liquid level and is equipped with convenient features such as a lock function on the bottom of the device.

 

"Vuse Zero Nic Sensations" offers four flavors, including "Yuzu Mint," "Cactus Cherry," "Dragon Pomegranate," and the most popular classic flavor in the Vuse series, "Mint Ice."

 

"Vuse" is the flagship e-cigarette brand of BAT. Since its launch in the United States in 2013, it has become the market leader in the country. Starting in 2023, Vuse began selling nicotine-free products in Japan. The new model, "Vuse Zero Nic Sensations", which is being globally launched for the first time, utilizes e-liquid specifically designed for zero nicotine e-cigarette products.

Japan Survey Finds 49.5% Would Cut Tobacco Use if Prices Rise, 64.6% Show Interest in Nicotine-Free Alternatives
A September online survey commissioned by Japanese smoking-accessories company Lightec found that 49.5% of respondents would consider reducing tobacco use if prices rose further, while 25.1% would consider switching to cheaper brands and 14.5% would consider using or combining alternatives such as vapes and nicotine-free herbal sticks. Another 64.6% expressed some level of interest in such alternatives. The survey covered 1,088 respondents aged 20 to 70 and was conducted by a company that sells NICOLESS nicotine-free vaping and herbal-stick products, meaning its findings should not be treated as representative of Japan's smoking population.

Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches
Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches
Australia’s Coalition has unveiled a national illicit-tobacco policy that would cut tobacco excise by 80% and create legal, regulated and taxed adult markets for vaping products and nicotine pouches if it wins government. The plan proposes an excise of A$0.50 per millilitre of e-liquid and A$0.025 per milligram of nicotine in pouches, alongside A$200 million in additional enforcement and a A$60 million three-year public-awareness campaign. The Coalition says the package would narrow the price advantage of illicit products and undermine organised crime, while Labor and public-health groups warn that dramatically cheaper cigarettes could reverse long-term declines in smoking.

Malaysia Withdraws Appeal Against Liquid Nicotine Ruling as Vape Regulation Framework Enters New Phase
Malaysia’s government has withdrawn its appeal against a High Court ruling concerning the regulatory status of liquid nicotine used in vape and e-cigarette products, according to reports by New Straits Times, Free Malaysia Today and CodeBlue on August 18, 2026. The Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled on May 15 that the government’s decision to remove liquid nicotine from the scheduled poisons list under the Poisons Act 1952 was irrational and made without proper consultation with the Poisons Board. The withdrawal ends the government’s appeal process, while the future regulatory framework for nicotine vape products remains under discussion.
