From the outsider's point of view, Yao Jide's work gave him the opportunity to use tobacco first-hand, but from the insider's point of view, this is far from his what he has envisioned.

Invisible Opportunity

 

Back in the second half of 2004, e-cigarettes just came out. At that time, Mr. Yao Jide, the founder of Hangsen Group, was still researching pharmaceuticals in the Yunnan factory. By chance, Yao Jide saw the first-generation e-cigarette brand, Ruyan's products, and felt that it was a promising product with a lot of room for innovation. It happened that a raw material developed by him was extracted from scrap tobacco. At that time, several thousand tons of e-liquids were discarded each year, but these discarded e-liquids were all under the exclusive control of the National Tobacco Monopoly Law. So the factory had the permission to able to purchase large quantities at that time. A raw material for making the required health care products.

 

This is half of the story. "During this process, founder Yao Jide made full use of this waste raw material, and at the same time extracted some flavors and nicotine. So in this case, he was the first to come into contact with the most critical raw material of e-cigarettes. "From the outsider's point of view, Yao Jide's work gave him the opportunity to use tobacco first-hand, but from the insider's point of view, this is far from his what he has envisioned.

 

Quality First, Safety First

 

Today, Hangsen Group’s bottled e-liquid exports are first in volume. Seeing Hangsen Group’s growth step by step, Yao Haoyu shared the company's export experience: "From the feedback of foreign buyers and the market, it is a must to pay attention to product safety. Because of relation to personal health issues, Hangsen Group was the first to make independent compliance model. Hangsen Group has always insisted that quality and safety comes first."

 

National Enterprise, Leading Position

 

Dealing with foreign buyers and customers, and discussing export trade rules, Yao Haoyu can be regarded as an expert in this regard. Hangsen Group has production bases in many countries and regions around the world, including Europe, the United States, and even South Korea something few other companies will do. We are also present in the Americas and Africa. In the production base in Poland, once the production is completed, it can be delivered to customers in EU countries in a timely manner, so as to seize the time limit and greatly improve the transportation efficiency.

 

When asked, the development of Hangsen Group has spread all over the world in 2022, what is the core of future development? Yao Haoyu said in the interview: "Under the supervision of national policies, we operate in compliance with laws and regulations, promote products abroad, and strive for foreign exchange for the country. E-cigarettes is a national industry that is unique to our country. We gained leading position through the efforts of all enterprises, do not let it fall to other countries, this is what we want to do."

China’s Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute develops end-to-end heated tobacco analysis to trace aerosol compound origins
China’s Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute develops end-to-end heated tobacco analysis to trace aerosol compound origins
The Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation has filed a patent application for an end-to-end method to analyze the migration and transformation of chemical compounds in heated tobacco products. Using GC-Orbitrap/MS non-targeted analysis, the method compares tobacco substrate and aerosol samples to distinguish compounds transferred directly from the substrate from those newly formed during heating, while also calculating transfer rates. In an example involving nine heated tobacco products, the patent identified 17 newly formed thermal decomposition compounds and 38 transferred compounds.

China Tobacco Supply-Chain Leader Huabao’s Three-Way Transformation Takes Hold as Overseas Revenue Jumps 216%, Non-Flavor Businesses Reach 42.2% and the Company Expands Into Global Next-Generation Tobacco Supply Chains
China Tobacco Supply-Chain Leader Huabao’s Three-Way Transformation Takes Hold as Overseas Revenue Jumps 216%, Non-Flavor Businesses Reach 42.2% and the Company Expands Into Global Next-Generation Tobacco Supply Chains
Huabao’s H1 2026 results show the company advancing across three connected fronts: international expansion, entry into next-generation tobacco supply chains and diversification beyond its traditional tobacco-related base. Overseas revenue rose 216.08% to CNY 96.02 million, while non-flavor businesses reached 42.2% of total revenue. Huabao also said it had entered the supply chains of leading global tobacco customers, as its nutrition, food ingredient, fragrance and personal-care businesses gained ground in Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. However, adjusted net profit increased only 2.78%, and next-generation tobacco revenue was not separately disclosed, showing that the transformation is reshaping revenue and customer exposure but has yet to translate fully into underlying earnings.

2Firsts Data | China’s Vape Exports Rise 3.1% in H1 2026 as 6-Methyl Nicotine-Related Products Surge 65.2%
China’s vape exports showed resilience in the first half of 2026 after a short-term shock from China’s export rebate adjustment. But customs data points to more than a simple recovery: the structure of growth is changing. Vaping devices and atomization hardware emerged as the strongest growth driver, while nicotine-containing vaping products remained broadly stable. Meanwhile, nicotine substitute-related products represented by 6-methyl nicotine expanded rapidly, becoming a new category to watch for both industry and regulators. After the U.S. market went through a cycle of shortages, replenishment and inventory rebuilding in 2025, China’s vape supply chain is entering a new phase of reallocation.
