Ripple+ to Promote E-Cigarette Brand in UK Convenience Stores
Electronic cigarette brand Ripple+ promotes in convenience stores with brand logo on storefronts and signage. Available in 850+ stores worldwide.

The British e-cigarette brand Ripple+ will promote its brand in convenience stores, with its brand logo appearing on the storefronts, signs, and windows of these stores.


Stores in Camden Town and Notting Hill in the UK, as well as stores in Manchester and Bristol, have been designated for use in an upcoming marketing campaign slated for early next year.


This brand is stocked in over 850 pharmacies and stores worldwide, including Superdrug and WHSmith, and began acquisitions of stores in 2020.


Lucie Beecham, co-founder of Ripple+, has announced that they have started negotiating with retailers to propose an ambitious plan to completely transform their stores. The aim behind this transformation is to ensure that the brand's core users are able to see their promotional material within the store.


Co-founder Sam Beecham stated, "Since taking over these stores, we have noticed a significant increase in the amount of brand information retrieved by customers from each store. The brand is being photographed or mentioned on social media about 10-20 times per week.


The brand states that their next generation of aroma diffusers aims to alleviate oral fixation by mimicking the hand-to-mouth gesture. They have replaced the unpleasant nicotine with natural plant extracts and scents, transporting you to a utopia of inhalable delights.


The company was founded in 2019 when the founding siblings became enamored with sweet and nicotine-laden electronic smoking devices during their time residing in the United States. The company is currently headquartered in Camden, a borough in inner London, and employs 16 staff members.

German Tobacco Tax Revenue Falls 10.8% Through August as Tax-Paid Cigarette Volume Drops 12.6%
Germany collected €9.789 billion in total tobacco tax revenue from January through August 2026, down 10.8% from a year earlier, according to the Federal Ministry of Finance. Germany's tobacco tax base covers not only cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco but also heated tobacco and vaping liquids taxed as tobacco substitutes. The German Association of the Tobacco Industry and Novel Products, or BVTE, citing federal statistical data, said tax-paid cigarette volume fell 12.6% to 40.6 billion sticks. BVTE is using the latest figures to argue against further tax increases planned from 2027 through 2030, while Germany's parliament is scheduled to hold a first reading of the bill on September 24.

Why Does JPMorgan Favor BAT Over Philip Morris Despite Forecasting Slower Growth of 3.9% Versus 6.2%?
Why Does JPMorgan Favor BAT Over Philip Morris Despite Forecasting Slower Growth of 3.9% Versus 6.2%?
JPMorgan resumed equity research coverage of British American Tobacco (BAT), Philip Morris International (PMI) and Imperial Brands in November 2026, assigning BAT an Overweight rating and the other two companies Neutral ratings. The bank forecasts like-for-like sales growth of 3.9% for BAT and 6.2% for PMI in 2027, but estimates the two companies will trade at approximately 11 times and 21 times 2027 earnings, respectively. JPMorgan cited BAT's improving position in US nicotine pouches and vaping products as a driver of its investment outlook. BAT reported a 220% constant-currency increase in US modern oral nicotine revenue in the first half of 2026, while PMI's ZYN US shipments returned to growth in the third quarter. Imperial expects NGPs to represent 4% to 5% of sales and has expanded its oral portfolio through acquisitions.

Special Report | Can Nicotine Be Replaced? 6-MN Is Already on the Market While Key Human Evidence Is Still Missing
Special Report | Can Nicotine Be Replaced? 6-MN Is Already on the Market While Key Human Evidence Is Still Missing
Nicotine analogues such as 6-methylnicotine are already appearing in e-cigarettes and oral pouches, even as key human evidence remains limited. A new Nixodine-S study adds nonclinical data showing differences from nicotine in cytotoxicity and receptor activity, while independent studies point to a more complex toxicological picture. With supply-chain activity growing and FDA seeking clearer authority over nicotine analogues, the industry now faces a larger question: what evidence is needed before these substances can credibly replace nicotine?
