Exclusive Distribution Agreement Signed Between Hempacco and CBDAY in India and Thailand
Hempacco Co, Inc. (HPCO) has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with CBDAY Global Private Limited to sell cannabis products in India and Thailand.

According to a report by Benzinga on December 6th, the cannabis tobacco company Hempacco Co, Inc. (code: HPCO) has announced that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with CBDAY Global Private Limited (a company that imports, exports, distributes, and sells hemp-based products in India and Asia).

 

According to the agreement, CBDAY will have exclusive sales rights for Hempacco's cannabis and CBD products in India and Thailand. The initial offerings will include Cheech & Chong and Rick Ross' marijuana products, which will be available for purchase on CBDAY's flagship website. These premium cannabis products will be distributed throughout the Asia region via CBDAY's extensive online and offline sales channels. This expansion reflects their commitment to providing high-quality hemp and CBD products to consumers worldwide.

 

The Indian market holds immense potential for cannabis-based products due to the country's long-standing use of the hemp plant for various purposes. In certain regions of India, particularly the state of Uttar Pradesh, some tribal communities may engage in the use of marijuana, and related laws might have a degree of leniency towards them.

German Tobacco Tax Revenue Falls 10.8% Through August as Tax-Paid Cigarette Volume Drops 12.6%
Germany collected €9.789 billion in total tobacco tax revenue from January through August 2026, down 10.8% from a year earlier, according to the Federal Ministry of Finance. Germany's tobacco tax base covers not only cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco but also heated tobacco and vaping liquids taxed as tobacco substitutes. The German Association of the Tobacco Industry and Novel Products, or BVTE, citing federal statistical data, said tax-paid cigarette volume fell 12.6% to 40.6 billion sticks. BVTE is using the latest figures to argue against further tax increases planned from 2027 through 2030, while Germany's parliament is scheduled to hold a first reading of the bill on September 24.

GSTHR Estimates 200 Million People Use Non-Combustible Nicotine Products as 28 Countries Show Rising Use Alongside Falling Smoking Rates
The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction, a project operated by Knowledge·Action·Change, estimates that about 200 million people worldwide use non-combustible nicotine products including vapes, heated tobacco, nicotine pouches and snus. Its 2026 report says use of these products rose alongside declining smoking rates in 28 countries it analyzed. The data do not establish that all 200 million users have quit smoking, nor do they prove a direct causal relationship. GSTHR also says regulatory restrictions on the products continue to expand in many markets.

Major U.S. Vape Distributor Demand Vape Pays at Least $300,000 for White House Lobbying Amid Enforcement Pressure
New York vape distributor Ecto World, which operates as Demand Vape, hired political consultant Roger Stone to lobby the Executive Office of the President on regulation of vaping and related products while facing state enforcement and multiple lawsuits. Public lobbying disclosures show that Ecto World paid at least $300,000 for the work through June 30, 2026. Separately, New York State announced in March that more than 28,500 pounds of vaping products tied to the company had been seized, while New York City and the state have pursued legal or enforcement actions. Public records do not show that the lobbying directly changed any specific regulatory or enforcement outcome.

Japan Survey Finds 49.5% Would Cut Tobacco Use if Prices Rise, 64.6% Show Interest in Nicotine-Free Alternatives
A September online survey commissioned by Japanese smoking-accessories company Lightec found that 49.5% of respondents would consider reducing tobacco use if prices rose further, while 25.1% would consider switching to cheaper brands and 14.5% would consider using or combining alternatives such as vapes and nicotine-free herbal sticks. Another 64.6% expressed some level of interest in such alternatives. The survey covered 1,088 respondents aged 20 to 70 and was conducted by a company that sells NICOLESS nicotine-free vaping and herbal-stick products, meaning its findings should not be treated as representative of Japan's smoking population.
