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.

International expansion and regional layout

 

Ray explained that the company currently has offices in several countries, including the United States, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, and China, and plans to further expand into global markets. 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.

JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA has published a Special Communication offering systematic recommendations for U.S.-based clinicians on the use of nicotine e-cigarettes in adult smoking cessation. Developed by the Harm Reduction Workgroup of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco’s Treatment Research Network, the paper recommends including e-cigarettes alongside FDA-approved cessation medications in risk-benefit discussions. It cites high-certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes achieve higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy and evidence suggesting efficacy comparable to highly effective medications such as varenicline and cytisine. For adults who choose vaping to quit, the authors recommend FDA-authorized products, sufficient nicotine delivery and a rapid, complete transition away from cigarettes rather than prolonged dual use.

JAMA Study: U.S. Vape Directories Fail to Sustainably Curb Unlisted Sales as Product Shifts May Redistribute Brand Share 2Firsts Recommended
A study by CDC Foundation researchers found no sustained decline in e-cigarette sales across Alabama, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the first three U.S. states to implement e-cigarette directory laws. Louisiana initially saw a significant sales decline, followed by a rebound and a persistent reduction in product availability. Sales also shifted from nontobacco-flavored disposables toward prefilled cartridges, with Vuse Alto driving much of the increase in menthol cartridges. By April 2025, unlisted products still accounted for more than half of e-cigarette nicotine sales in all three states.
