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.

Cochrane 2026 Update Adds Nine Trials, Keeps High-Certainty Finding That Nicotine E-Cigarettes Improve Quit Rates Over NRT
Cochrane 2026 Update Adds Nine Trials, Keeps High-Certainty Finding That Nicotine E-Cigarettes Improve Quit Rates Over NRT
Cochrane’s 2026 update of its living review on electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation included 80 randomized controlled trials involving 29,861 adult smokers, with nine trials added in this update. The review retained its high-certainty conclusion that nicotine e-cigarettes increase smoking cessation rates compared with nicotine replacement therapy. In absolute terms, about 10 in 100 people using nicotine e-cigarettes may quit smoking for at least six months, compared with about 6 in 100 using NRT. The review found no clear difference in serious adverse event rates between the two groups, while longer-term safety and the relative effectiveness of newer device types remain less certain.

U.S. Ninth Circuit Upholds FDA Denial of MH Global’s Flavored Vape PMTA Applications
U.S. Ninth Circuit Upholds FDA Denial of MH Global’s Flavored Vape PMTA Applications
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the FDA’s denial of MH Global LLC’s applications to market flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The court ruled that FDA’s comparative-efficacy framework, which requires applicants to show that flavored products provide greater cessation or switching benefits than tobacco-flavored alternatives, is consistent with the Tobacco Control Act’s “appropriate for the protection of the public health” standard. The court also found that FDA was not required to establish the framework through notice-and-comment rulemaking.

UK PM Andy Burnham Reshapes Vape Retail Rules as Licensing Could Raise Barriers for New Shops
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is pushing a high street reform agenda that could give local authorities greater powers over commercial activity, including vape retail. The reforms could involve expanded planning powers and a potential vape retail licensing system, allowing councils to play a larger role in store locations and market access. The measures are part of the UK’s broader shift toward tighter vape regulation, although no nationwide vape retail restrictions have yet been implemented.
