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.


Against the backdrop of the legalization, standardization, and internationalization of the electronic cigarette industry, the China Electronic Commerce Association's Electronic Cigarette Professional Committee will hold a "Compliance Commitment Signing Ceremony" on July 27 at 3 pm. 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.

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.

U.S. Fifth Circuit Vacates NicQuid Vape MDO, Says FDA Comparative-Efficacy Standard Violated APA Procedures
U.S. Fifth Circuit Vacates NicQuid Vape MDO, Says FDA Comparative-Efficacy Standard Violated APA Procedures
According to VitalLaw on August 27, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated an FDA marketing denial order (MDO) against NicQuid LLC, ruling that the agency’s comparative-efficacy standard for electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) applications had become a substantive rule requiring notice-and-comment rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The court did not reject FDA’s authority to compare the public health benefits and risks of flavored vapes, but held that the agency could not establish a broadly binding standard through informal adjudications. The case was remanded to FDA for further proceedings.

Smoke-Free Business Hits 42% of Q2 Net Revenue as PMI’s First TNFD Report Covers Single-Use Electronics, Critical Raw Materials and IQOS Repairs
Philip Morris International has published its first report aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, bringing its electronics supply chain and the use and end-of-life stages of smoke-free devices and consumables into its nature-related assessment. PMI said its smoke-free business accounted for about 42% of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2026. The report says non-circular electronic products, particularly single-use items, can increase consumption of limited natural resources and also details an IQOS repair pilot. A 2040 circularity scenario tests assumptions including a 50% reduction in product waste-related costs, 10% raw-material savings and a 25% substitution rate for refurbished products versus new products.
