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.

Couche-Tard Posts Double-Digit U.S. Same-Store Growth in Other Nicotine Products, Led by Pouches
Alimentation Couche-Tard said U.S. same-store sales in its “other nicotine products” category grew at a double-digit rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, led by nicotine pouches, while overall U.S. same-store merchandise revenues increased 1.7%. The company also said its Canadian nicotine business continued to face regulatory pressure and illicit-market headwinds. The U.S. performance coincides with Couche-Tard's participation in efforts to reopen Canadian convenience-store access to authorized nicotine pouches, though the company has not established a direct causal link between the two.

Product | BAT Expands VELO Peach Ice Medium to FamilyMart Stores Nationwide in Japan
British American Tobacco Japan (BAT Japan) expanded VELO Peach Ice Medium to FamilyMart stores nationwide in Japan from September 7, 2026.

It combines peach flavor with menthol cooling at a Medium strength level and is priced at JPY 360. Japanese tobacco retailers list 15 pouches per pack. The move adds the new SKU to an existing nationwide FamilyMart distribution network for VELO rather than marking the brand's first entry into the convenience-store chain.

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.

EU Tobacco Tax Reform Targets November Push as Sweden Holds Nicotine-Pouch Minimum at €20 per Kilogram
The Irish presidency of the Council of the European Union is using bilateral talks to push the bloc’s Tobacco Taxation Directive toward a political agreement in November. According to Law360, citing an EU official, Sweden is unwilling to accept a minimum excise threshold above €20 per kilogram for nicotine pouches. Council negotiations have already lowered the European Commission’s original proposal, but a May 2026 presidency compromise still set the minimum at 10% of the tax-inclusive retail price or €30 per kilogram in 2028-29, with higher levels later.
