Fernway's Traveler e-cigarette introduces recycling program
Fernway introduces a recycling program for its new Traveler e-cigarette, promoting sustainability in the cannabis industry.

Fernway is launching a recycling program as part of their green initiative to coincide with the release of their new Traveler electronic cigarette.


The Fernway recycling program is a cannabis e-cigarette hardware recycling program offered by the state of Massachusetts. Users who purchase the Fernway Traveler from licensed pharmacies can bring the finished product back to the pharmacy and deposit it into a secure Fernway Dropbox. Fernway will then coordinate the recycling and reuse of the product in partnership with GAIACA, a leader in providing compliant solutions for cannabis waste.


Kit Gallant, CEO and co-founder of Fernway, stated, "As we develop new products, we always prioritize our customers. Therefore, we are pleased to make it easy for them to recycle their Traveler and join the conversation about sustainability in the cannabis industry.


When electronic cigarettes are sold as "disposable items," it poses a problem. It encourages people to throw them in the trash, which can contribute to environmental waste. The vast majority of our customers say that wastefulness is their biggest hesitation when it comes to electronic cigarettes, but it doesn't have to be. Customers no longer have to choose between having an excellent marijuana experience and being environmentally conscious. That's why, as part of our launch of the Fernway Traveler, we've created the Fernway Recycling Program, which is why we say the Traveler is not "disposable" but "recyclable.


Fernway Traveler is a disposable marijuana e-cigarette with an integrated battery. Gallant, the company's founder, stated, "We designed Fernway Traveler to provide customers with an undeniable high-quality product. It has various unique features such as a charging port, smart power meter, and precision-engineered oil compartment, which extends the lifespan of the oil. However, in order to truly deliver the top-notch experience people expect from Fernway, we are embracing and investing in sustainability. This is why we have created the Fernway Recycling Program - to fulfill our commitment to customers that the Fernway brand means quality, and we will always go the extra mile.


The Fernway Traveler recycling program will be launched in pharmacies across the state in July 2022.

Japan Survey Finds 49.5% Would Cut Tobacco Use if Prices Rise, 64.6% Show Interest in Nicotine-Free Alternatives
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.

Reynolds Seeks to Join Altria Lawsuit Challenging FDA PMTA Rule and Calculation of 180-Day Deadline
Three R.J. Reynolds companies are seeking to intervene in a lawsuit filed by Altria subsidiaries Helix Innovations and NJOY challenging the FDA's 2021 PMTA final rule. The companies dispute how the agency uses Acceptance and Filing reviews and completeness determinations to establish when the Tobacco Control Act's 180-day decision period begins. Reynolds has also linked prolonged PMTA reviews to competition from unauthorized vaping products. The FDA, meanwhile, has been accelerating reviews and reducing its backlog.

Australia Brings in Deloitte to Support Illicit Tobacco and Vape Enforcement Across Data, Processes and Project Delivery
Australia’s Department of Home Affairs has hired Deloitte to provide data analytics, business-process, communications and project-delivery support to the Office of the Illicit Tobacco and E-Cigarette Commissioner. The government says Deloitte personnel do not provide policy advice to the Commissioner or the Australian government, with policy development and decision-making remaining with public officials. The arrangement has nevertheless drawn scrutiny because Deloitte has previously provided professional services to several tobacco and vaping companies.

How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
Logista France says tobacco consumption outside France’s official tobacconist network has become a large and structural market phenomenon, but official and industry estimates differ sharply. France’s TAFE study estimates that 17.7% of tobacco consumption escaped domestic taxation in 2023, with most of that volume attributed to cross-border purchasing rather than street sales. Some industry studies use broader off-channel definitions and put the figure above 50%. Meanwhile, French Customs seized 547.94 tonnes of tobacco in 2025, up 12%, showing continued pressure from illicit trade.
