HQD showcased multiple new products at the exhibition. One of these products, a screen-display e-cigarette, was introduced by Mark.

Mark, a spokesperson for HQD, recently commented on the company's successful products in the Russian market. According to Mark, HQD has a range of popular products, with the best-selling item being the "HQD ULTIMA PRO." This particular product boasts an impressive 10,000 puffs and offers a smoother smoking experience. Another notable product is the "HQD Click," which is a refillable device and ranks among the top three best-selling items in the HQD product line.

 

Regarding the e-cigarette market in Russia and the comprehensive e-cigarette regulation policy implemented in the country this year, Mark emphasizes that HQD has always been strictly abiding by the legal requirements. However, he points out that due to the existence of a considerable percentage of the "gray" market in Russia, not only does it violate the principles of fair competition, but it also negatively affects HQD's market share. Mark states that this is a problem commonly seen in the industry, but HQD remains optimistic about the future.

 

Mark further expressed that although the e-cigarette industry is currently facing a series of challenges, HQD firmly believes that, just like the alcohol industry once did, the e-cigarette industry will also experience improvement in the coming years. This is why HQD started the company's transformation and adaptation process even before the implementation of regulatory policies.

 

Finally, Mark shared HQD's plans for the Russian market next year. He emphasized that the main task of the coming year is to ensure that all partners' distribution networks can fully adapt to the new regulatory changes. This initiative aims to ensure HQD's sustained growth in the Russian market and create more opportunities for the future.

JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA has published a Special Communication offering systematic recommendations for U.S.-based clinicians on the use of nicotine e-cigarettes in adult smoking cessation. Developed by the Harm Reduction Workgroup of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco’s Treatment Research Network, the paper recommends including e-cigarettes alongside FDA-approved cessation medications in risk-benefit discussions. It cites high-certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes achieve higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy and evidence suggesting efficacy comparable to highly effective medications such as varenicline and cytisine. For adults who choose vaping to quit, the authors recommend FDA-authorized products, sufficient nicotine delivery and a rapid, complete transition away from cigarettes rather than prolonged dual use.

Special Report|AIR H1 Revenue Rises 3.7% as Shisha Volumes Fall 9%, Testing Its Shift Beyond Traditional Hookah
AIR’s first half-year results as a listed company offer a new test of how far a traditional hookah business can transform. H1 2026 revenue rose 3.7%, even as Flavored Shisha Molasses shipments fell 9%, with pricing and mix supporting growth. Traditional shisha still generates almost all revenue, while OOKA, Crown Switch, Greentank and U.S. regulatory spending point to accelerating diversification. The next test is whether those investments can become a second business of meaningful scale and profitability.
