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.

Japanese Addiction Psychiatrist Says Complete Abstinence Is Not Always the Goal of Harm Reduction | 2Firsts Interview
Complete abstinence is not always the goal of addiction treatment under a harm-reduction approach, Japanese psychiatrist Tomohiro Shirasaka told 2Firsts in Manila. In the interview, he discussed patients' quality of life, Japan's shift towards heated tobacco products, and the challenges of quitting smoking for people with mental illness. Drawing on addiction treatment work in the Philippines, he advocated support rather than punishment and questioned whether fear-based health warnings effectively address the reasons people continue smoking.

Indiana Halts Sales of Elf Bar, Lost Mary, MR FOG and iJOY Vapes Under Foreign-Adversary Rules; Some Products Return After Compliance Filings
Indiana's Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC) ordered tobacco certificate holders in September to remove certain vaping products marketed under Elf Bar, Lost Mary, MR FOG, iJOY and other brands from inventory under the state's foreign-adversary product law. The agency later listed 257 MR FOG products and 77 Lost Mary product entries as lawful for sale. The Lost Mary revision expressly stated that compliance evidence had been received for 20 additional products. 2Firsts compliance expert Kurt said potential filings could include e-liquid and ingredient-origin records, U.S. nicotine-analog supply-chain documentation and FDA premarket application status.

Special Report|CrossBar's High-Puff Vapes Draw Attention on Pennsylvania's 163-Product Directory as Link Between Earlier 1.3mL PMTA Filings and New 13mL Products Remains Unclear
Special Report|CrossBar's High-Puff Vapes Draw Attention on Pennsylvania's 163-Product Directory as Link Between Earlier 1.3mL PMTA Filings and New 13mL Products Remains Unclear
Pennsylvania began enforcing its electronic nicotine delivery system directory restrictions on October 19, 2026. Among 163 product listings recorded before enforcement, four CrossBar 20K disposables stood out with 13mL capacity, advertised puff counts of up to 20,000 and a flattened design distinct from conventional pod systems and compact disposables. Historical records identify earlier 1.3mL CrossBar products associated with Romo LLC, while newer 13mL products appeared in several state directories beginning in 2025 under entities including Blue Nine LLC. PMTA compliance expert Mr. K identified amendments and application ownership transfers as possible regulatory mechanisms, although neither has been confirmed in this case. Separately, Reynolds' $7.5 million acquisition of 16 PACHA products and related assets illustrates the commercial value of products linked to historic PMTA submissions.
