BAT Rothmans Launches Vuse Go 800 Nationwide in Korea
BAT Rothmans to expand sales of "Vuse Go 800" e-cigarette nationwide in South Korea, offering variety of flavors to consumers.

According to a report from South Korean media "NEWS 1" on May 13th, British American Tobacco Rothmans (BAT Rothmans) has decided to promote and sell its liquid e-cigarette "Vuse Go 800" nationwide. This move means that consumers can find this product in convenience stores and e-cigarette specialty stores in South Korea.

 

As early as January this year, the company began selling four different flavors of "Vuse Go 800" liquid e-cigarettes in the capital region, and added two new flavors four months later to increase adult consumers' exposure opportunities. Vuse Go 800 uses natural nicotine e-liquid, does not require changing e-liquid cartridges or refilling e-liquid, and can be used without preheating or charging.

 

A representative from British American Tobacco's subsidiary, Imperial Brands, stated, "As the number one brand in the American liquid e-cigarette market, Vuse continues to be warmly welcomed in the Korean market. Since entering the Korean market, we have established a diverse sales network throughout the country."
