InterTabac 2024: ELFBAR and GEEKBAR have become "mobile advertisements"
The 2024 InterTabac in Dortmund opened on September 19, attracting numerous tobacco brands showcasing marketing strategies.

On September 19th, 2024, the InterTabac tobacco exhibition in Dortmund, Germany officially opened its doors. As the official media partner for the event, the 2Firsts team has arrived on site to provide comprehensive coverage services.

 

At the exhibition, it was observed that multiple brands participating in this year's Dortmund International Tobacco Exhibition have been showcasing their own marketing strategies in order to enhance brand awareness and attract potential customers. One of the main methods of marketing promotion at this exhibition is the distribution of branded tote bags, including those from major brands such as ELFBAR, GEEKBAR, and HAYATI, which have become "mobile advertisements" at the event.

According to observations on site by 2Firsts, among many brands, ELFBAR's distribution of tote bags is widespread. Staff members of ELFBAR are distributing tote bags with the brand logo at every entrance of the exhibition hall, and participants carrying ELFBAR tote bags can be seen everywhere inside the exhibition hall.

 

It is understood that ELFBAR has also distributed tote bags with the brand logo at previous exhibitions. At this year's Dortmund Tobacco Expo, ELFBAR distributed purple and orange double-sided tote bags with prominent logos, which were prominently displayed at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Science | International Experts Propose a New Smoking Cessation Pathway, Citing Higher Quit Rates With E-Cigarettes Than Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Science | International Experts Propose a New Smoking Cessation Pathway, Citing Higher Quit Rates With E-Cigarettes Than Nicotine Replacement Therapy
A new expert paper in JAMA urges U.S. clinicians to include nicotine e-cigarettes in smoking-cessation discussions, citing higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy. It also stresses that products must deliver enough nicotine to replace cigarettes, dual use should be brief, and complete switching is the goal. 2Firsts argues the recommendations matter beyond clinics: public-health professionals should reassess relative risk, regulators should preserve sufficient product appeal for adult smokers, and manufacturers should focus on helping users quit cigarettes more sustainably.

DOJ Trade Fraud Task Force Tops $1 Billion in Cases, Putting Vape Supply Chains at Risk of Fraud Enforcement
DOJ Trade Fraud Task Force Tops $1 Billion in Cases, Putting Vape Supply Chains at Risk of Fraud Enforcement
According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Fox News and other reports, the DOJ’s Trade Fraud Task Force (TFTF) has been linked to more than $1 billion in recoveries, penalties, forfeitures and publicly charged losses in less than one year. The task force focuses on trade fraud issues including country-of-origin fraud, illegal transshipment, false declarations and tariff evasion. While vape products are not the main source of the $1 billion figure, the industry’s reliance on global manufacturing and cross-border supply chains places it within broader U.S. trade enforcement scrutiny. The development suggests that U.S. oversight of cross-border vape products may increasingly extend beyond product authorization into import compliance, supply-chain transparency and corporate accountability.
