BAT to Launch Glo Hyper Air WINNER Edition, Priced at 40,000 Korean Won
BAT Korea will release the Glo Hyper Air WINNER Edition, featuring artwork by selected artists.

According to a report by the South Korean media outlet Etoday on January 8th, British American Tobacco Korea is planning to launch the Glo Hyper Air WINNER edition.

 

Last year, British American Tobacco collaborated with the visual artist platform Pixpills in South Korea to host an art competition. Subsequently, five artworks were selected as the final winners through consumer online voting.

 

The Glo Hyper Air WINNER edition package includes one Glo Hyper Air device, a design skin featuring artwork by an artist, and a paper bag with the same artwork. The design skin can be easily attached to the device using stickers, while the product packaging also showcases the artist's work, enhancing its collectible value.

 

The Glo Hyper Air Winner Edition will be sold at 40,000 Korean Won (30 USD). It will be available in limited quantity on the Glo website, "Discover Glo," Kakao Store, Naver Smart Store, and other platforms.

U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal to collect foreign export declarations and other overseas customs documents could expose discrepancies in the value, classification and description of China-made vape shipments entering the United States. A veteran Chinese logistics professional told 2Firsts that the measure, if implemented, could undermine the all-inclusive shipping model used by some unauthorized vape exporters and push parts of the trade toward costlier underground channels. The risk extends beyond higher duties: accurately declared products may also be more readily identified as unauthorized e-cigarettes subject to FDA enforcement.

Australia Tobacco Tax Debate Spreads Within Labor as NSW Premier Minns Reaffirms Support for a Cut
Australia’s tobacco excise debate is increasingly exposing differences within the governing Labor Party. New South Wales Labor Premier Chris Minns reaffirmed on September 8 that he supports reducing tobacco excise, arguing that current tax settings are pushing consumers toward cheaper black-market cigarettes. Federal Health Minister Mark Butler continues to oppose an excise cut, while Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino have recently stopped short of ruling out future changes. The divergence follows the opposition Coalition’s proposal to cut tobacco excise by 80%.

Germany's Magdeburg Main Customs Office seized 115,800 untaxed e-cigarettes containing a combined 4.366 million mL of e-liquid during four truck inspections between August 10 and September 4, 2026.

As Regulators Focus on Nicotine Pouch Child Safety, Safeguard Pursues an External Packaging Route
As regulators pay closer attention to child safety in nicotine pouches, manufacturers face a practical challenge: how to strengthen child-resistant packaging without unnecessarily reworking products, production lines and regulatory submissions already in place. In a written interview with 2Firsts, Chemular detailed Safeguard’s external packaging approach, its customer-specific testing requirements and possible PMTA pathways. The model remains early-stage, but it offers a new way to think about an increasingly important regulatory and manufacturing issue.
