Iceberg Dispo: A New Disposable E-cigarette Product Launch
The popular product "ICEBERG Dispo" by Beyond Vape Japan is now available as a prize at select stores.

According to a PR times report on August 1, the popular product "ICEBERG Dispo" from e-cigarette company Beyond Vape Japan is being tested as a prize redemption item in certain stores under Marusaka Co., Ltd. starting from July 30. These stores include locations in Shinjuku, Toyoshima, and Yachiyo City.

 

"ICEBERG Dispo" is a disposable e-cigarette product that is nicotine-free, tar-free, and easy to use. Previously, traditional cigarettes could only be used in designated smoking areas within the Marusaka Corporation stores, while heated tobacco products were allowed to be used in specific areas within the store.

 

After this collaboration, customers are now able to use "ICEBERG Dispo" in the designated smoking areas within Marusaka Co., Ltd. stores. Some stores have even set up special gaming areas for heated tobacco products, allowing customers to easily experience "ICEBERG Dispo".

 

In order to support the proper disposal of devices used by "ICEBERG Dispo," dedicated recycling bins have been set up in the store.

Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Managing Director Naeem Shahab Khan met Perlis Mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin on September 17 and presented the company's shift from conventional cigarettes toward alternative products. The mufti said a product could be considered halal if it is clean, its side effects are not harmful or can be controlled, and it does not involve excessive waste. His remarks did not mention IQOS or any other specific PMI product and did not amount to a new product-specific religious ruling. It was at least the second publicly reported engagement between Philip Morris Malaysia and a Malaysian religious institution over cigarette alternatives within six months.

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said on September 23 that it has joined the interagency Trade Fraud Task Force to strengthen enforcement against illegal, misdeclared and smuggled vape and tobacco products. ATF will bring its authority under the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act into the task force, including registration, reporting, shipping and record-inspection requirements covering interstate sales of electronic nicotine delivery systems.

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.
