From June 18-20, the highly anticipated World Vape Show Dubai 2025 took place at the Dubai World Trade Center. During the event, a 2Firsts survey found that numerous brands showcased e-cigarettes with aluminum alloy casings as a key highlight.

Compared to the plastic or other composite materials commonly used in regular e-cigarettes, aluminum alloy casings come with a higher production cost. However, brands opt for this material due to its metallic texture, durability, and superior heat dissipation properties, enhancing the product's premium feel and hand grip.

Below are images of e-cigarette products featuring aluminum alloy casings (all images courtesy of 2Firsts):

According to 2Firsts’ on-site observations, the vaping halls at InterTabac 2025 have visibly cooled: fewer exhibitors, a weaker presence from major brands, and scarce stage activations; new product momentum is weak and homogenization has intensified. Tightening regulation and policy uncertainty are squeezing innovation, pushing companies to replicate proven models—overall, a “cautious showcase.”

BAT France: France’s Ban on Nicotine Pouches Could Undermine EU Harmonization and Public Health Goals

BAT France has welcomed the European Commission’s revision of the Tobacco Excise Directive (TED), which for the first time includes nicotine pouches under taxation, viewing it as an institutional recognition of low-risk alternatives. However, the company warns that excessively high taxation or unilateral bans by Member States (such as France’s plan to prohibit nicotine pouches) could harm public health objectives, undermine the EU single market, and encourage illicit trade.
