· JUULpods [Virginia Tobacco 3.0%]

· JUULpods [Virginia Tobacco 5.0%]

 

【重磅快讯】JUUL 1款烟具及4款烟弹正式获FDA授权,重返合规市场

 

This marks Juul’s return to the FDA’s list of authorized e-cigarette products, three years after the agency issued a market ban in 2022. The approved products include Juul’s core menthol and Virginia tobacco flavored pods.

 

To date, the FDA has granted authorization to e-cigarette products from four manufacturers: Logic, NJOY, Reynolds (Vuse), and now Juul. The total number of authorized products has increased from 34 to 39.

 

In July 2024, RJ Reynolds Vapor Company, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, secured FDA authorization for seven Vuse Alto products. Juul’s approval represents the first new MGO issued in over a year, signaling a potentially significant shift in the U.S. e-cigarette regulatory landscape.

 

2Firsts will continue to monitor Juul’s market reentry and its broader impact on the industry.

China Tobacco Supply-Chain Leader Huabao’s Three-Way Transformation Takes Hold as Overseas Revenue Jumps 216%, Non-Flavor Businesses Reach 42.2% and the Company Expands Into Global Next-Generation Tobacco Supply Chains
China Tobacco Supply-Chain Leader Huabao’s Three-Way Transformation Takes Hold as Overseas Revenue Jumps 216%, Non-Flavor Businesses Reach 42.2% and the Company Expands Into Global Next-Generation Tobacco Supply Chains
Huabao’s H1 2026 results show the company advancing across three connected fronts: international expansion, entry into next-generation tobacco supply chains and diversification beyond its traditional tobacco-related base. Overseas revenue rose 216.08% to CNY 96.02 million, while non-flavor businesses reached 42.2% of total revenue. Huabao also said it had entered the supply chains of leading global tobacco customers, as its nutrition, food ingredient, fragrance and personal-care businesses gained ground in Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. However, adjusted net profit increased only 2.78%, and next-generation tobacco revenue was not separately disclosed, showing that the transformation is reshaping revenue and customer exposure but has yet to translate fully into underlying earnings.

Iowa Enforces Vape Registry Law as Retailers Warn Product Limits Could Increase Store Pressure
Iowa has begun enforcing its vape registry law, requiring vape products to be registered before they can be legally sold in the state. The move follows a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to lift an injunction that had blocked enforcement. Retailers have warned that tighter product availability rules could increase pressure on vape shops. One Iowa retailer said that if only a limited number of products remain available, many stores could face significant business challenges.
