Malaysia's Mivas-cigarette Exhibition: Exploring Unique E-cigarette Business Models
Malaysia's Mavise-Cigarette exhibition attracted 40 exhibitors, showcasing unique businesses combining e-cigarette shops with various establishments.

The two-day Malaysian Mavise-cigarette exhibition took place on August 12th at the Mines Convention Center in Selangor. The event attracted a total of 40 exhibitors. Prior to the e-cigarette exhibition, 2FIRSTS conducted a survey of the Malaysian e-cigarette market and discovered unique combinations of e-cigarette shops with shoe stores, barber shops, toy stores, and more, appearing on every street in Malaysia. Hafiidzzul, the Chief Operating Officer of Mivas City, the organizer of the Malaysian Mavise-cigarette exhibition, explained that this phenomenon is a result of e-cigarettes being previously illegal in Malaysia, with e-cigarette businesses only being able to operate legally by forming partnerships with other legal businesses.
