【By 2Firsts, Dubai】On June 20th, the World Vape Show Dubai 2025, which has attracted widespread attention from the global industry, entered its third day at the Dubai World Trade Center. At the exhibition site, 2Firsts found that many brands showcased a variety of new - style hookah products in different forms.

Some exhibitors told 2Firsts that at present, the Middle East and some European markets have a stable and large group of hookah users. The common flavors and usage experience of traditional e - cigarettes can no longer meet the consumption needs of these users. Therefore, many brands have successively launched new - style hookah devices that are closer to the traditional hookah experience. They hope to maintain the traditional hookah smoke volume and flavor reproduction while realizing portability and technological upgrading.

Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches

Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches

Australia’s Coalition has unveiled a national illicit-tobacco policy that would cut tobacco excise by 80% and create legal, regulated and taxed adult markets for vaping products and nicotine pouches if it wins government. The plan proposes an excise of A$0.50 per millilitre of e-liquid and A$0.025 per milligram of nicotine in pouches, alongside A$200 million in additional enforcement and a A$60 million three-year public-awareness campaign. The Coalition says the package would narrow the price advantage of illicit products and undermine organised crime, while Labor and public-health groups warn that dramatically cheaper cigarettes could reverse long-term declines in smoking.
