E-cigarettes Possibly Included in Tobacco Regulatory System, Focusing on Tobacco Shop Distribution
Juan revealed that Olé is an e-cigarette brand from the United States that entered the Spanish market last year and quickly became one of the most popular e-cigarette products in the country.

On June 3rd at 10:00 AM local time in Madrid (16:00 Beijing time), the Vapexpo Spain, an e-cigarette exhibition, officially opened its doors at the Crystal Exhibition Center (Pabellón de Cristal) in Madrid, Spain.

 

During the exhibition, the team from 2Firsts interviewed Juan, the representative of Olé, a popular disposable e-cigarette brand in the Spanish market. Juan revealed that Olé is an e-cigarette brand from the United States that entered the Spanish market last year and quickly became one of the most popular e-cigarette products in the country.

 

According to Juan, the most popular product from Olé is the Olé Pocket. He mentioned that although the e-cigarette market in Spain is not large, nicotine-free products are highly sought after. 2Firsts learned that brands like Lost Mary, ELFBAR, and WAKA in the Spanish market mostly offer nicotine-free options.

It is worth noting that Juan also stated that e-cigarette regulations in Spain are expected to become stricter, and e-cigarettes may be included in the tobacco regulatory system within the next two years. As a result, Olé is currently focusing on distributing its products in tobacco shops, but will not give up other sales channels such as grocers and convenience stores.

 

During our research in the Madrid market, 2FIRSTS discovered a decline in the number of dedicated e-cigarette stores, while the number of tobacco shops in the area overwhelmingly exceeded that of e-cigarette stores.

 

2Firsts will continue to report on the latest updates from the exhibition, so stay tuned.

GAO Audit Finds Nearly 132,000 FDA Tobacco Applications Waiting an Average 1,266 Days as Nicotine Pouch Pilot Practices Move Into Vape PMTA Reviews
GAO Audit Finds Nearly 132,000 FDA Tobacco Applications Waiting an Average 1,266 Days as Nicotine Pouch Pilot Practices Move Into Vape PMTA Reviews
A U.S. Government Accountability Office audit found that 131,915 tobacco product applications submitted to the FDA since 2018 remained without a final review as of December 31, 2025, with pending applications waiting an average of 1,266 days. GAO also found FDA lacks the data needed to systematically determine whether scientific reviews meet applicable timelines. HHS agreed to upgrade the agency's tracking systems. At the same time, FDA has begun applying lessons from its nicotine pouch PMTA pilot to e-cigarette reviews, while changes to enforcement policy and electronic submissions are making the specific stage of a PMTA increasingly relevant to market access.

JAMA Study: U.S. Vape Directories Fail to Sustainably Curb Unlisted Sales as Product Shifts May Redistribute Brand Share 2Firsts Recommended
A study by CDC Foundation researchers found no sustained decline in e-cigarette sales across Alabama, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the first three U.S. states to implement e-cigarette directory laws. Louisiana initially saw a significant sales decline, followed by a rebound and a persistent reduction in product availability. Sales also shifted from nontobacco-flavored disposables toward prefilled cartridges, with Vuse Alto driving much of the increase in menthol cartridges. By April 2025, unlisted products still accounted for more than half of e-cigarette nicotine sales in all three states.
