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.

NAS 2026 | Cliff Douglas: Risk Continuum Should Play a Central Role in Tobacco Policy
NAS 2026 | Cliff Douglas: Risk Continuum Should Play a Central Role in Tobacco Policy
Cliff Douglas, a veteran U.S. tobacco-control and public health policy figure, told NAS 2026 that the “continuum of risk” should play a central role in tobacco policy. He called for clearer market pathways, stronger risk communication, differentiated regulation and enforcement, and said possible FDA reforms to PMTA reviews could be a “welcome correction” if they create a more efficient, predictable route for scientifically substantiated lower-risk products.

South Korea Extends Vape Rules to Unmanned Stores After Bringing Synthetic Nicotine Under Tobacco Law
South Korea Extends Vape Rules to Unmanned Stores After Bringing Synthetic Nicotine Under Tobacco Law
South Korea's Ministry of Gender Equality and Family said on September 14 that it plans to designate unmanned e-cigarette stores as businesses where minors are prohibited from entering or working. Operators would be required to verify customers' ages and display notices restricting access by minors. The proposal is open for public comment through October 6. The move follows an April expansion of South Korea's statutory tobacco definition that brought products made with natural or synthetic nicotine under the Tobacco Business Act. Nicotine-free liquids and products using nicotine analogues such as 6-methylnicotine, however, remain an emerging regulatory issue.

PMI Pushes Smoke-Free Business in Latin America as Argentina Lifts Heated Tobacco Ban, Mexico City Share Tops 7%
Philip Morris International (PMI) showcased IQOS heated tobacco systems and nicotine pouch products at Technovation 2026 in Buenos Aires on October 7–8, presenting research on consumer attitudes, regulatory developments and illicit cigarette trade across Latin America. PMI Chief Global Growth Officer Stefano Volpetti said smoke-free products accounted for more than 7% of the Mexico City market. Argentina repealed its heated tobacco ban in May 2026 and introduced registration requirements for tobacco and nicotine products, while local media reported nicotine pouch sales in Mendoza. A PMI-commissioned survey found that only 8% of respondents across four Latin American countries were familiar with nicotine pouches. A separate KPMG study estimated illicit cigarette consumption at 77 billion sticks across 11 markets in Latin America and Canada in 2025.

Malaysia's Poisons Board Backs New Vape Nicotine Exemption After Unanimously Opposing 2023 Proposal
Malaysia's Poisons Board Backs New Vape Nicotine Exemption After Unanimously Opposing 2023 Proposal
Malaysia's Poisons Board has endorsed Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad's proposal to exempt liquid nicotine used in vaping products from the Poisons List, according to a November 2, 2026, report by CodeBlue. The Board unanimously opposed a similar proposal in 2023, but the government proceeded with the exemption. The Kuala Lumpur High Court invalidated the 2023 decision in May 2026, and the government withdrew its appeal in August. No new ministerial order has been published. The development raises questions about the interaction between Malaysia's two regulatory frameworks and the treatment of RM354.51 million in excise duties collected on e-cigarette and vape products between May 2023 and June 11, 2026.
