RIFBAR: Combining E-cigarette with Innovative Gaming Experience
RIFBAR attracts attention at e-cigarette expo in Malaysia, showcasing innovative products with gaming integration for social interaction.

At the e-cigarette exhibition in Malaysia, the RIFBAR booth attracted numerous onlookers. On the morning of September 7, Ray, the head of sales department at RIFBAR, was interviewed by 2Firsts. He stated that choosing to showcase their products in the core area of the exhibition was a strategic market exploration. "Our products are creative and unique. We wanted to test the Malaysian market and evaluate the potential of RIFBAR products in Malaysia."

 

Merge the game with e-cigarettes

 

As an emerging e-cigarette brand, RIFBAR has established influence in the markets of the United States and Europe. The highlight of its products is the built-in gaming function, allowing users to interact with games on the screen while using the e-cigarette. Users can even "connect" two e-cigarette devices and socialize with others. This creative design that combines e-cigarettes with gaming interaction has given RIFBAR a unique positioning in the competitive market.

 

Our core belief is to encourage more social interaction through our products," explained Ray. "We aim to bring diverse fun and social elements to users.

In particular, RIFBAR has established a team of 75 employees in Ukraine and 13 employees in China to support expansion into the Asia-Pacific market.

 

Currently, the main focus of RIFBAR in the market is on the United States. In the US, RIFBAR's TurboX Pro is the brand's best-selling product, and Ray is confident in this. He stated that this product combines creativity and technology, and has received positive feedback from consumers due to its innovative gaming features and practical design.

JTI Proposes 25-Cent Irish Cigarette Tax Increase, Says It Could Raise €45 Million
Japan Tobacco International's Irish business has proposed a €0.25 tax increase on a pack of 20 cigarettes in its pre-Budget 2027 submission, below the €0.50-or-more increases typically imposed in recent Irish budgets. JTI says the proposal could generate around €45 million in additional Exchequer revenue while limiting further movement toward illicit and non-Irish-tax-paid tobacco. Revenue's existing estimate for a comparable €0.25 increase, including pro-rata rises on other tobacco products, is about €18 million for a full year.
