Nielsen: Vape Sales Decline in U.S., Vuse Market Share Slightly Rising to 42.2%
According to Journalnow, e-cigarette sales in the US have dropped 13.9%, with Vuse by R.J. Reynolds gaining market share.

According to a recent report by Journalnow, data released by Nielsen Convenience Store shows that overall e-cigarette sales in the United States have decreased by 13.9%.

 

Among them, the market share of the best-selling e-cigarette brand Vuse, owned by British American Tobacco subsidiary R.J. Reynolds, has gradually increased from 42% to 42.2%; while the second-ranked JUUL's market share remains unchanged at 24.2%; the market share of NJoy, acquired by Ascent Industries, has reached 3.2%; and the market share of blu eCigs, owned by Imperial Tobacco subsidiary Fontem Ventures, has decreased from 1.2% to 1.1%.

 

In 2019, JUUL held a market share of 74.6% in the e-cigarette market in the United States. However, a series of regulatory actions have led to a reduction in product availability and a decrease in consumer demand.

 

British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands are urging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to crack down on the illegal synthetic nicotine e-cigarette products in the US tobacco market. The two companies estimate that these synthetic tobacco products account for half of the entire e-cigarette market in the United States.

 

The Nielsen report primarily focuses on large chain stores, while for small chain stores, the organization relies on trend extrapolation.

Oklahoma DOC to allow inmates to buy nicotine vapes and pouches in 2026
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.
