Signing Ceremony for Electronic Cigarette Industry Compliance Commitment
China's e-cigarette industry focuses on regulatory compliance and international development, with 50 Chinese companies signing a compliance commitment.

With the arrival of the legalization and regulation of the e-cigarette industry, the compliant development of companies will be the core competitive strength in the future. Recently, overseas markets have been paying attention to the regulation of the e-cigarette industry in China and the compliance of companies.

More than 50 representatives from Chinese electronic cigarette companies will sign the solemn "Compliance Commitment" document in the presence of witnesses from the China Electronic Cigarette Committee and overseas electronic cigarette associations.


The purpose of this ceremony is to promote the commitment and determination of Chinese electronic cigarette enterprises to operate in compliance, assume responsibility and accountability for quality, safety, and protecting minors, and establish a positive and favorable image of the Chinese electronic cigarette industry. This aims to promote the healthy development of the global electronic cigarette industry and achieve high-quality leaps and bounds in progress.


The chairman of the Electronic Cigarette Committee, Yao Jide, the secretary general Aowei Nuo, John Dunne, General Secretary of the UK Electronic Cigarette Industry Association (UKVIA), co-founders Dustin Dahlmann and Cipri Boboi of the European Electronic Cigarette Association (IEVA), Peter Davydov, Chief Press Officer of the Russian Nicotine Alliance, Daniel David, President of the Canadian Electronic Cigarette Industry Trade Association (VITA) and representatives from over 50 Chinese electronic cigarette companies will attend the ceremony.

UK Vape Duty Starts in October as Hayati, DOJO and Others Launch Lower-Capacity Products With Lower Per-Unit Tax
The UK's Vaping Products Duty will take effect on October 1, 2026, at a flat rate of £2.20 per 10ml of vaping liquid. Ahead of implementation, DOJO, PIXL and Hayati have introduced or been reported to be adding lower-capacity tiers alongside larger products. DOJO has added a 6ml BLAST7K Fresh below its 10ml BLAST10K Fresh, PIXL offers both a 12ml 8000 and a 6ml 5K, while retailer Ninja Vapes says Hayati is preparing a 7ml 4K alongside its existing 12ml 6K. The pattern points to a growing lower-capacity tier in the UK market, although the brands have not all explicitly linked the changes to the new duty.

Global Nicotine-Pouch E-Commerce Group Haypp Shuts Sweden’s Snusnetto Over Age Verification as Identity Checks Become Industry Infrastructure for New Nicotine Products
Global Nicotine-Pouch E-Commerce Group Haypp Shuts Sweden’s Snusnetto Over Age Verification as Identity Checks Become Industry Infrastructure for New Nicotine Products
Sweden's Supreme Administrative Court has declined to hear an appeal over age verification for tobacco and nicotine products collected from parcel lockers, leaving in place a lower-court ruling that geo-located BankID verification is insufficient to securely verify the actual recipient. Haypp Group has stopped tobacco and nicotine sales through Snusnetto and is deploying a new system across its other Swedish e-commerce sites to verify the age of the person who actually opens the locker and receives the shipment. The change comes as age verification across next-generation nicotine products expands from purchase checks into retail, delivery and, for some e-cigarettes, device access itself.

India Duty-Free Nicotine Pouch Sales Face Regulatory Test as ZYN, FOX Classification Remains Open
India Duty-Free Nicotine Pouch Sales Face Regulatory Test as ZYN, FOX Classification Remains Open
The Bombay High Court has ruled that airport duty-free shops are not exempt from India's domestic regulatory laws merely because they operate beyond the customs barrier, leaving in place a sales halt covering ZYN and FOX nicotine pouches at Mumbai's international airport. The court, however, did not determine that the products necessarily qualify as "drugs" under India's Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The retailers have four weeks to submit product information to the appropriate authorities, including CDSCO, which must complete its review within 30 days of receiving the submissions.
