BAT Launches "Glostudio" for Glo Hyper X2 in South Korea
BAT launched the Glostudio in South Korea on February 17, featuring the Glo Hyper X2 and a beer collaboration.

On February 17th, BAT launched a pop-up store called "Glostudio" in South Korea, offering a comprehensive retail experience. On February 27th, they began offering customers the chance to try out their new product, "Glo Hyper X2," at the store located in Yeoksam-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.


The store operates from 11 am to 7 pm. The main feature of "Glostudio" is the shape of its iris shutter, which is also the signature of the "Glo Hyper X2". The entrance is designed to resemble an electronic cigarette's induction coil.


After entering, four experiential spaces were prepared based on the theme of "finding oneself journey" to directly or indirectly experience the products.


Four experiential spaces have been named "Your Space," "Your Color," "Your Taste," and "Your Way." These spaces allow visitors to experience "GloHyperX2." Each space has been designed to assist users in selecting their preferred background for selfies or enjoying a drink, and each space has a resident guide.


BAT has partnered with craft beer brand Amazing Bruing Company to release a new beer called "Hyper Mac X2". This beer is a blend of two types of beer, an ale and a porter, with a strong fruity flavor. The name "Hyper X2" is a combination of "Mac X2" and "Hyper", meaning "two beers in one". Visitors to the store can sample the beer and even customize their own flavor.


All visitors who purchase the "Hyper Mac X2" will receive a 30% discount and can take photos and post them on social media with the tag #HyperMacX2 to receive instant photo printing for their keepsake.

Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation party has proposed cutting tobacco excise by 75%, arguing that lower legal cigarette prices could narrow the gap with illicit tobacco and reduce demand for black-market products. The proposal comes as Australia continues expanding enforcement against illicit tobacco supply chains through border controls, retail inspections and organised-crime investigations. Supporters argue high taxes have contributed to illicit-market growth, while opponents warn that lower tobacco prices could undermine public-health goals. The proposal is a party policy position and has not been adopted by the Australian government.
