Revoke of Killon Street Off License due to Illegal Sales
The licensing authority in Bury revokes the license of Killon Street Off over illegal sale of cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

According to a report by the Bury Times, the license of Killon Street Off in Bury, UK, has been revoked, and the designated premises supervisor (DPS) has been dismissed. This action was taken due to the discovery of illicit sales of cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the store.

 

The City Council Committee has found that Killon Street Off License has breached its obligations to prevent crime and disorder, as well as protect children from harm. As a result, the company's license has been revoked and its designated premises supervisor (DPS) has been dismissed.

 

The local authorities' licensing hearing committee learned at a meeting last week that "illegal cigarettes and illegal e-cigarettes" were found at the premises.

 

In April, the Trading Standards Bureau and the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) executed a search warrant at the premises, uncovering 39 illegal e-cigarettes and 40 illegal packs of cigarettes.

BAT New Categories Revenue Rises 18% in H1 2026 as Broad Portfolio Offers More Ways to Win—and Lose
British American Tobacco’s New Category revenue rose 18% at constant rates in the first half of 2026. Nicotine-pouch brand Velo expanded rapidly, while Vuse recovered as U.S. enforcement against illicit e-vapor products strengthened. Heated-tobacco platform glo remained under pressure, and cigarettes continued to provide most of the group’s profit and cash. Compared with PMI and JT, BAT has more routes to growth—but also greater regulatory, investment and execution risks across its broader portfolio.

Philippines Weighs Unified Vape Tax as Lawmakers Back Risk-Based Rates and Government Seeks to Fill ₱66 Billion Revenue Gap
Philippines Weighs Unified Vape Tax as Lawmakers Back Risk-Based Rates and Government Seeks to Fill ₱66 Billion Revenue Gap
Philippine lawmakers are considering an overhaul of the country's vape excise-tax regime to eliminate the wide gap between taxes on nicotine salt and freebase nicotine liquids and reduce incentives for misdeclaration. House Bill 5364, filed by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez and Rep. Maximo Rodriguez Jr., would impose a unified ₱10-per-milliliter tax on vapor products, with 5% annual increases beginning in 2027. Rodriguez says the proposal could generate an average ₱6 billion in annual collections from 2027 through 2030. The debate comes as the Philippine government considers tobacco, vape and other health-tax reforms to help offset around ₱66 billion in revenue expected to be forgone under a proposed tax-relief package.
