German Dortmund Tobacco and Smoking Accessories Exhibition 2022
The Dortmund International Tobacco Products and Smoking Accessories Exhibition is the world's largest tobacco trade show.

The 2019 Dortmund International Tobacco Products and Smoking Accessories Exhibition (referred to as the "Dortmund Tobacco Fair") boasted 40,000 square meters of exhibit space, 13,800 professional attendees and over 600 exhibitors from 59 countries, including top companies such as Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco and Swedish Match. More than 90% of participants reported having a say in their company's purchasing decisions, and all of the companies' products sold out during the event, leading to exceptional amounts of orders. This fair is the largest tobacco products and accessories trade show in the world and has been successfully held for 43 years since its establishment in 1978.


From September 15 to 17, 2022, the three-day German Dortmund Tobacco Exhibition returns, providing exhibitors and professional visitors with one of the largest tobacco trade show platforms in the world.

Despite the inconvenience caused by the pandemic, the Electronic Cigarette Committee of the China Electronic Commerce Association (ECCC) remains committed to providing its member companies with high-quality overseas services.


The Electronic Cigarette Industry Committee (ECCC) is partnering with 2FIRSTS2firsts.com to send an "ECCC International Exhibition Team" to attend the tobacco exhibition in Dortmund, Germany. The team will provide one-stop exhibition services to Chinese e-cigarette companies interested in participating. The "ECCC International Exhibition Team" is a professional, efficient, and versatile unit that aims to solve the concerns of its member enterprises. Companies will no longer need to send additional personnel overseas, as they can now achieve a "cloud exhibition" domestically.


The head of international business for the "ECCC International Exhibition Group" is Jason, who is a public relations manager for 2FIRSTS. He will lead his team to Germany to explain their exhibition products to event attendees, facilitate negotiations and partnerships for member companies, and showcase a positive image of Chinese electronic cigarette businesses. The goal is to generate a strong presence for Chinese electronic cigarette companies at this exhibition.


With the strong global influence of the ECCC and the comprehensive industry reporting capabilities of 2FIRSTS2firsts.com, the "ECCC International Exhibition Team" will provide real-time product showcases and explanations for participating companies, fully showcasing their strength and competitiveness. It will also offer video connections and coverage for the Chinese and global atomization industry, displaying the development trends and future prospects of the industry.


The China Electronic Cigarette Chamber of Commerce (ECCC), a highly influential and authoritative organization in the domestic atomization industry, will spare no effort in opening up a window for its member units to keep abreast of the world and the times. It will assist Chinese electronic cigarette companies in making more contributions to earning foreign exchange through exports.

Canada Considers Easing Pharmacy-Only Nicotine Pouch Sales Rules, Potentially Reopening Convenience Store Channel
Canada Considers Easing Pharmacy-Only Nicotine Pouch Sales Rules, Potentially Reopening Convenience Store Channel
Canada's federal government is considering changes to current restrictions on where nicotine pouches can be sold, potentially allowing authorized products to return to convenience stores and other general retail channels, although no decision has been made. Since 2024, emerging nicotine replacement therapy products such as nicotine pouches have been largely restricted to behind-the-counter pharmacy sales. Health Canada, meanwhile, continues to recall unauthorized and higher-strength nicotine pouches, indicating that the current discussion concerns retail access for authorized products rather than a broad relaxation of nicotine pouch regulation.

German Bundestag Passes Tobacco Tax Hikes: Vape Liquid Duty to Reach €0.44/ml, Heated Tobacco Taxes to Rise and Cigarettes Seen Near €12 a Pack
Germany's Bundestag passed amendments to the Tobacco Tax Act on October 15, 2026, setting out annual excise tax increases from 2027 through 2030 for e-cigarette liquids, heated tobacco, cigarettes and other tobacco products. Under the Finance Committee's amended bill, duty on qualifying e-liquids will rise from €0.32/ml in 2026 to €0.44/ml in 2030, an increase of 37.5%. Heated tobacco will retain its tax calculation based on 80% of the corresponding cigarette excise duty. The average price of a 20-cigarette pack is projected to approach €12 by 2030, with some brands potentially reaching €14. The legislation is projected to generate approximately €11.8 billion in additional tax revenue over four years and remains subject to further legislative procedures.
