Navarra Retail Systems Launches Innovative Smart E-cigarette Shelf
Navarra Retail Systems introduces new smart e-cigarette shelf in response to recent government consultation.

On January 4th, British media outlet Forecourttrader reported that Navarra Retail Systems has launched a new intelligent e-cigarette display stand, combining traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes in one unit. Hugh Walker, the sales director of the company, stated that this move was in response to the recent e-cigarette consultation conducted by the British government.

 

The intelligent e-cigarette display shelf utilizes a compact modular design, with each 600mm-wide unit capable of accommodating up to 75 different products. By moving the e-cigarette devices to the store's back office, the shelf ensures that children are unable to access them, and they can only be sold through the cash register. The inventory is securely stored in the dispenser and accessed through an electronic point of sale (POS) system.

 

Walker said that the system will enhance e-cigarette sales and strengthen safety measures, while also complying with upcoming government regulations to mitigate the risk of selling e-cigarettes and nicotine products to children under 18. Additionally, he emphasized that this system does not restrict retailers from choosing the brands of e-cigarettes they sell.

 

Navarra will confirm the final specifications and production details after receiving the government's ultimate response to the inquiry.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.

German Tobacco Tax Revenue Falls 10.8% Through August as Tax-Paid Cigarette Volume Drops 12.6%
Germany collected €9.789 billion in total tobacco tax revenue from January through August 2026, down 10.8% from a year earlier, according to the Federal Ministry of Finance. Germany's tobacco tax base covers not only cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco but also heated tobacco and vaping liquids taxed as tobacco substitutes. The German Association of the Tobacco Industry and Novel Products, or BVTE, citing federal statistical data, said tax-paid cigarette volume fell 12.6% to 40.6 billion sticks. BVTE is using the latest figures to argue against further tax increases planned from 2027 through 2030, while Germany's parliament is scheduled to hold a first reading of the bill on September 24.

New Zealand Associate Health Minister Casey Costello Warns on Illicit Cigarettes as Legal Tobacco Sales Halve Over Decade
New Zealand Associate Health Minister Casey Costello said legal tobacco sales in the country have fallen by more than half over the past decade, with sales declining more than 20% in 2025 compared with the previous year. She warned that the decline may not fully reflect lower smoking rates, as increased availability of illicit cigarettes could also be contributing. The government said it would continue strengthening tobacco and vape retail enforcement while monitoring the impact of illicit tobacco on public health and tax revenue.
