Later, Secretary-General Ao briefed the two IEVA representatives on the special committee's recent work focus, which included improving the office, expanding the live broadcast communication center, establishing an international organization, and encouraging trades and exchanges. According to Secretary-General Ao, the recently announced "E-Cigarette Management Measures" are expected to fundamentally fix a number of issues, including the disorderly development of China's e-cigarette business. The publication of the new policy will aid in the standardization, legalization, and integrity development of China's e-cigarette sector. The two delegates agreed and expressed their understanding. Secretary-General Ao answered the two delegates' comprehensive inquiries, which increased trust and communication between the two sides.

 
Following the most recent e-cigarette industry exchange in China, Mr. Cipri Boboi and Ms. Sonya Herrmann discussed the evolution of the e-cigarette sector in Europe. At the moment, the disposable e-cigarette market in Europe is expanding significantly, with stable growth in the first half of this year. The growth rate in the second half of this year is likely to outpace that in the first half. At the moment, European e-cigarette policy is focused on environmental protection. While the EU is designing the e-cigarette industry's tax policy, it is hoped that future e-cigarette goods would pay attention to environmental preservation in terms of raw materials and consumption, such as the introduction of recyclable e-cigarette products. According to Secretary-General Ao, Chinese e-cigarette companies will be brave in shouldering social duties, researching and creating more environmentally friendly products, protecting minors, and offering safer and more compliant products to consumers worldwide.

Through a live internet broadcast, the two sides also discussed the necessary preparations and procedures for visiting China's e-cigarette facility. IEVA has indicated strong interest and set a date for a recent visit. Shenzhen is the worldwide e-cigarette industry hub, accounting for more than 90% of global e-cigarette supply. Domestic electronic cigarettes exports reached 138.3 billion yuan in 2021. Although the global epidemic has made international travel more difficult, it cannot stymie China's e-cigarette exports or international cooperation. The Committee encourages more direct and efficient communication between Chinese supplier firms and overseas brands and distributors, as well as more direct and efficient communication between Chinese and foreign enterprises.

Seoul city authorities inspected 339 tobacco vending machines at e-cigarette retailers and found that 168, or 49.5%, allowed purchases using fake IDs, showing that unmanned retail terminals and adult-verification systems remain a major enforcement gap after e-cigarettes were brought under tobacco regulation.

JTI Research Finds 31% of UK Respondents Offered Illicit Tobacco, While 63% of Ennis Packs Lack Duty Marks
Multiple JTI-backed studies in the UK and Ireland indicate that illicit tobacco remains visible across consumer interactions and local markets. In the UK, JTI research found that 31% of respondents said they had been offered illicit tobacco products. In Ireland’s Ennis area, a JTI-commissioned empty pack survey found that 63% of sampled cigarette packs did not carry Irish duty-paid markings. The findings come from industry research rather than official government estimates of illicit tobacco market size, but highlight continued concerns among regulators, legitimate retailers and tobacco companies over illicit trade.

Investigators allege the groups used bonded warehouses, freight businesses and “trusted insiders” in legitimate industries to circumvent border controls. In a separate operation on Aug. 11, more than 100 service stations were targeted as authorities sought information on illicit tobacco importation, distribution networks and the movement of sales proceeds.

The pilot program would examine products including vapes, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products, primarily among active-duty service members who continue using combustible tobacco. The provision is a policy evaluation effort, not an authorization for military vaping promotion or a ban on vape products.
