The 6th E-Cigarette Industry Standardization Development Publicity Conference and the 1st Export Service Development Conference will be held on June 15th 2022.


Encourage and support the export of electronic cigarettes.


In 2021, the worldwide e-cigarette market was worth USD 80 billion, and exports totaled RMB 138.3 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 180 percent. The electronic cigarette business has steadily entered the period of standardized development with the publication of this year's "Electronic Cigarette Management Measures," "Electronic Cigarette" national standards, and other related policy documents. China's e-cigarette sector will maintain its solid development momentum in the past and may usher in a new phase of growth under the supervision of defined regulatory expectations and restrictions.


The goal of this conference is to provide policy publicity, industrial chain support, international policy environment support, product and intellectual property certification, and other services to e-cigarette export enterprises, as well as to guide the more benign and long-term development of e-cigarette enterprises. It is prohibited to exhibit and promote e-cigarette goods in various forms at the conference, according to the Administrative Measures for E-cigarettes. Nowadays, the state has enacted policies, ushered in the growth of the rule of law and standards, more uniform meetings, and mastered management techniques.

The first e-cigarette export exceptional enterprise award-"Fog Valley Award" will also be granted at this conference in order to congratulate outstanding export firms, promote excellent experience, and carry forward the export spirit of China's e-cigarette sector.

WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
U.S. technology and investigative publication WIRED has examined how nicotine analogs are emerging as a new challenge for the country’s vape regulatory framework. The article argues that after the U.S. expanded federal oversight of nicotine products in 2022, some manufacturers began using nicotine-like compounds such as 6-methyl-nicotine that may fall outside existing definitions. Researchers cited by WIRED said some nicotine analogs could be more potent than traditional nicotine, although human health impacts remain unclear. U.S. policymakers are considering broader definitions of nicotine to bring these compounds under federal oversight.
