Electronic Cigarette Exhibition: 2022 Shows in Russia, UK, and Indonesia
The 2022 Russia Vape Club Show opened, showcasing electronic cigarettes and attracting thousands of professional visitors and exhibitors.

On December 10, 2022, the VAPE CLUB SHOW, an electronic cigarette exhibition in Russia, officially opened in Moscow. Due to factors such as policy regulation and market transparency, the Russian electronic cigarette exhibition is shrouded in unfamiliarity and mystery compared to exhibitions in more well-known regions such as Europe and the United States. The exhibition kicked off with appearances by doll-like figures and brand dancers who handed out gifts, while vibrant music and colorful visuals collided to depict the true nature of the Russian exhibition.


Looking at the exhibitions in the second half of 2022, the German Dortmund Tobacco Trade Show exhibited a reserved and professional approach as representative of the 2B2 exhibitions. In contrast, the British Birmingham Electronic Cigarette Exhibition and IECIE exhibition were characterized as a fusion of B2B and B2C. The atmosphere at the first day of the Russian Electronic Cigarette Exhibition was also lively despite being primarily focused on 2B business.

RJR Vapor Loses Tax Refund Case as Texas High Court Finds VELO Pouches Taxable
The Texas Supreme Court issued a case summary on May 8, 2026, describing its decision in Hancock v. RJR Vapor Co. LLC. The dispute centered on whether RJR Vapor’s VELO oral nicotine pouches are taxable as “tobacco products” under the Texas Tax Code. Lower courts had held that the pouches were not taxable tobacco products, but the Texas Supreme Court reversed, concluding that VELO pouches are taxable because they are made of “a tobacco substitute.”
