On the afternoon of March 3rd, staff from the Washington News Center at 2FIRSTS interviewed Shana, a staff member at the Fume booth at the APE exhibition. Shana claimed that Fume is the largest e-cigarette brand in Florida.
Shana informed 2FIRSTS that Florida is the top-selling state for Fume e-cigarettes in the United States, and Fume is also the leading brand in the state of Florida.
According to Shana, Fume is a domestic American brand with headquarters in Miami. It is manufactured in China, and its strategic plan is to expand from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States. Currently, the company is actively exploring the market on the West Coast.
Shana stated, "In addition to Florida, Fume is also one of the leading brands in the e-cigarette market in regions such as New York, New Jersey, and Georgia.
Shana mentioned that Fume is actively developing new products with unique flavors that have never been attempted before. Recently, they have launched a product called "Banana Strawberry" with a stock of 5,000 units.
Everyone who has used this product told me, 'It is disrupting the market'," said Shana confidently, expressing her strong confidence in Fume's new product.
When asked about the "ban on flavors," Shana responded: "Florida does not have a ban on flavors, but they still sell flavored e-cigarettes in places where the ban is in effect.
When discussing the details of the "prohibited" matter, Shana expressed that she cannot disclose too many industry rules. However, she mentioned that "If there's a will, there's a way.
According to sources familiar with the matter, e-cigarette distributors in the United States are selling flavored e-cigarettes in places where there is a ban on such products, by simply obtaining a local government "ticket" that allows them to legally sell flavored e-cigarettes.
When asked for verification by 2FIRSTS, Shana did not deny the matter.
