Rising Incidents of E-Cigarette Explosions Cause Severe Burns in the US
Over 2000 incidents of e-cigarette explosions causing burns occurred in the US from 2015 to 2017, according to Nexstar.

According to a report by American media Nexstar on January 18th, Kara Jude, the burn prevention coordinator at Clark Burn Center, highlighted that between 2015 and 2017, there were over 2000 incidents of burn injuries caused by e-cigarette explosions in the United States.

 

According to the Clark Burn Center, similar incidents occur three to four times per month. These explosions can result in third-degree burns on the hands, thighs, buttocks, and other areas of the body, requiring long-term treatment.

 

Carla Jude calls on parents to pay attention to educating children and refrain from using damaged e-cigarettes and cheap chargers, in order to reduce safety risks.

2Firsts Data | China’s U.S. Vape Exports Have Yet to Regain Previous Growth Momentum in H1 2026, but Hardware Grew 15.2% and 6-Methyl Nicotine-Related Products Rose 234.7%
2Firsts Data | China’s U.S. Vape Exports Have Yet to Regain Previous Growth Momentum in H1 2026, but Hardware Grew 15.2% and 6-Methyl Nicotine-Related Products Rose 234.7%
China’s vape exports to the U.S. reached approximately $1.58 billion in the first half of 2026, remaining broadly stable from a year earlier but still below previous growth momentum. 2Firsts’ analysis of China Customs data shows that the U.S. market has not simply returned to its previous trajectory after the enforcement shock and inventory-driven swings of 2025. Instead, export momentum is shifting across product categories. Vaping devices and atomization hardware increased 15.2% year over year, while 6-methyl nicotine-related and other nicotine substitute products surged 234.7%. Meanwhile, traditional nicotine-containing vaping products continued to face pressure.

BAT Regional Director Fred Monteiro Supports Spain’s Nicotine Rules but Opposes 0.99mg Nicotine Pouch Limit
Spanish newspaper El Confidencial interviewed Fred Monteiro, Regional Director for Americas and Europe at British American Tobacco (BAT). Monteiro said BAT supports setting regulatory limits for nicotine products but opposes Spain’s proposed 0.99mg nicotine-per-pouch limit, arguing that such a restriction could affect adult smokers’ transition to alternatives. He said nicotine regulation should be based on scientific evidence and harm reduction principles. Monteiro also said smoke-free products now account for around 25% of BAT’s Americas and Europe business and nearly 30% of its Europe business
