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.

China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for an oral nicotine delivery product designed to let users actively adjust nicotine release. The product embeds two types of nicotine reservoirs with different wall thicknesses and positions inside a deformable matrix. Pressure applied with the tongue or lips can rupture the reservoirs and accelerate nicotine release. In simulated oral tests, several patent examples showed sharply higher peak nicotine release rates as applied force increased from 0 N to 1 N and 3 N. The filing explores a shift from preset release profiles toward user-triggered nicotine delivery.

Germany Probes 7.6 Million Illegal Vape Case With Estimated €33.3 Million Tax Loss; Four Chinese Manufacturer Employees Under Investigation, Some Packaging in Enforcement Images Resembles FUMOT Products
German prosecutors and customs authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into an alleged cross-border organised vape network. Authorities say that between January 2024 and March 2025, four employees of an unnamed Chinese e-cigarette manufacturer allegedly built a network of sales agents and wholesalers that brought more than 7.6 million nicotine disposable vapes into Germany, causing an estimated €33.3 million in excise-tax losses. The manufacturer has not been named. Some products visible in enforcement images have packaging resembling products from FUMOT’s portfolio. European regulatory records from 2024, FUMOT’s public overseas-sales materials and records involving German vape importer and distribution company Zamu-Pro GmbH also show FUMOT/RandM products and German distribution activity during the period covered by the investigation.
