Decline in Sales of E-cigarette Products for Tianchang Group
Hong Kong-listed company TSC Group (02182.HK) reported an approximate 79% decrease in sales of its e-cigarette products.

Hong Kong stock exchange-listed company Tianchang Group (02182.HK) recently announced that its unaudited operating data for the 11 months ending November 30, 2023, and other relevant information regarding its e-cigarette product division, revealed a decrease of approximately 79% in sales compared to the same period last year. The main reason for the decline was the cancellation of exclusive rights terms in sales orders with customers.

 

Tianchang Group announced its plans to expand its customer base by actively seeking new clients for purchasing high-quality e-cigarette products.

 

According to reports, Tianchang Group is an integrated injection molding solution provider, specializing in mold design and manufacturing services, as well as injection component design and manufacturing services. In recent years, the company has expanded its business to OEM manufacturing of e-cigarette products. Tianchang Group has previously acted as a contract manufacturer (OEM) for the e-cigarette brand "blu" under Imperial Tobacco.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has named Jessica Zeller director of the Center for Tobacco Products' (CTP) Office of Compliance and Enforcement (OCE), effective November 1, 2026.

The appointment follows CTP leadership changes and adjustments to tobacco regulation. Bret Koplow became permanent CTP director in September; the FDA revised enforcement priorities for unauthorized e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches in May and announced faster PMTA review procedures. On September 28, the agency said it would evaluate changes to the existing PMTA regulatory framework, including potential rulemaking to replace it.

UK Directors Banned After 352,688 Vapes Imported From China Were Misdeclared as Medical Nebulizers in £15 Million Tax Case
The UK Insolvency Service said YSK Enterprises imported large quantities of vapes from China in 2023, with a shipment addressed to the company declared as medical nebulizers before Border Force found 352,688 vaping products.

The case predates the UK's Vaping Products Duty, which will introduce vape-specific excise and duty-stamp requirements from October 2026.
