Hong Kong Legislative Council to Discuss E-Cigarette Transport
Hong Kong to discuss reopening e-cigarette shipping during legislative meeting on November 28, according to internal sources.

According to internal sources in the Hong Kong Legislative Council, there will be a meeting on November 28th to discuss the "reopening of electronic cigarette transportation" in Hong Kong.


During the meeting, Councilor Yi Zhiming is expected to submit and discuss a document, as seen in a photo from 2FIRSTS.


Yi Zhiming, a member of the seventh Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will focus on specific documents and solutions to discuss topics related to strengthening the Legislative Council's Economic Affairs Development Committee's control over the transportation of electronic cigarettes and multimodal transportation at the meeting.


According to internal government documents, the average air freight volume from May to October 2022 has significantly decreased by 18% compared to the same period last year. The Hong Kong air freight and logistics industry is facing increasingly severe challenges.


To maintain Hong Kong's position as a leading international aviation and logistics hub and ensure the ban on importing e-cigarettes is upheld, the government plans to improve the current regulatory system for transporting alternative smoking products. Through a new regulatory framework, e-cigarette products will be transferred using safe and reliable methods of control.


The discussion of this internal meeting will be exclusively tracked and reported by 2FIRSTS on the 28th, with further updates available on the "2FIRSTSAPP". Scan the QR code below to download the app.

Dutch Ministry of Finance reports: Dutch tobacco tax revenue stagnates, mainly due to cross-border consumption shift
A report released by the Dutch Ministry of Finance indicates that tobacco tax increases have failed to boost fiscal revenue. The previously projected €7 million in revenue from a 5 cent per pack tax increase has now fallen to zero, primarily due to cross-border cigarette purchases. The current excise tax on cigarettes is €7.81 per pack, with no further increases planned. Tobacco tax revenue is projected to reach €2.5 billion in both 2025 and 2026.

The U.S. FDA will launch a pilot program to accelerate reviews of nicotine pouch products from Philip Morris International, Altria, BAT’s Reynolds American, and Turning Point Brands, aiming to complete the process by December 2025. The move, driven by pressure from the Trump administration, seeks to address past multi-year approval delays. Nicotine pouches, the fastest-growing U.S. smoking alternative, are seen as lower-risk but raise youth appeal concerns.
