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.

Oklahoma’s Department of Corrections says it will begin allowing inmates to buy single-use nicotine vapes and nicotine pouches through prison canteens in 2026, framing the move as a strategy to reduce contraband-driven debts and prison violence. Officials say inmates will be barred from using personal nicotine products, the devices will be disposable and non-cartridge-based, and the program will be self-funded through inmate purchases rather than taxpayer money.
