With the approval of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, the "2022 6th Publicity Conference on Standardized Development of E-cigarette Industry and the First Export Service Development Conference," sponsored by the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce E-cigarette Professional Committee, will be held on June 15th, 2022 at the JW Marriott Hotel, Baoan, in order to further encourage and support e-cigarette enterprises to expand their exports on the basis of standardized operation.

E-cigarette industry adheres to compliance development.


Since the foundation of the E-Cigarette Professional Committee, the publicity and publicity meeting on the standardized development of the e-cigarette industry has been held five times successfully, and great achievements in encouraging industry compliance have been made. With the promulgation of relevant national policies, the special committee now actively responds to the national policies, holds the 6th publicity and publicity meeting on standardized development, fully plays the role of a bridge connecting enterprises and regulatory bodies, raises service awareness, strengthens self-discipline management, and regulates members' behaviors.

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 "Fog Valley Award" award ceremony

 
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. There are four award categories: Vape Industry Special Contribution Award for 20 Years Platinum Award, Export Excellence Award, Novel Exporter Award, and Superior Supply Chain Award. This selection activity strictly adheres to the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Social Organizations' Appraisal and Commendation Activities, and the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce Electronic Cigarette Professional Committee does not charge any appraisal fees to participating enterprises, such as registration fees, appraisal fees, and medal fees.

Italy and Greece Oppose Ireland’s Nicotine Product Bill, Raising EU Regulatory Concerns
Italy and Greece Oppose Ireland’s Nicotine Product Bill, Raising EU Regulatory Concerns
Italy and Greece have opposed Ireland’s proposed nicotine product regulations, arguing that the measures could affect EU market coordination and the free movement of products. Ireland plans to introduce stricter rules covering nicotine products including vapes and nicotine pouches, with measures involving packaging, marketing and sales controls. The dispute highlights differences among EU member states between stronger public health protections and maintaining regulatory consistency within the bloc’s single market.

JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA has published a Special Communication offering systematic recommendations for U.S.-based clinicians on the use of nicotine e-cigarettes in adult smoking cessation. Developed by the Harm Reduction Workgroup of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco’s Treatment Research Network, the paper recommends including e-cigarettes alongside FDA-approved cessation medications in risk-benefit discussions. It cites high-certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes achieve higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy and evidence suggesting efficacy comparable to highly effective medications such as varenicline and cytisine. For adults who choose vaping to quit, the authors recommend FDA-authorized products, sufficient nicotine delivery and a rapid, complete transition away from cigarettes rather than prolonged dual use.

Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches
Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches
Australia’s Coalition has unveiled a national illicit-tobacco policy that would cut tobacco excise by 80% and create legal, regulated and taxed adult markets for vaping products and nicotine pouches if it wins government. The plan proposes an excise of A$0.50 per millilitre of e-liquid and A$0.025 per milligram of nicotine in pouches, alongside A$200 million in additional enforcement and a A$60 million three-year public-awareness campaign. The Coalition says the package would narrow the price advantage of illicit products and undermine organised crime, while Labor and public-health groups warn that dramatically cheaper cigarettes could reverse long-term declines in smoking.

Reynolds Seeks to Join Altria Lawsuit Challenging FDA PMTA Rule and Calculation of 180-Day Deadline
Reynolds Seeks to Join Altria Lawsuit Challenging FDA PMTA Rule and Calculation of 180-Day Deadline
Three R.J. Reynolds companies are seeking to intervene in a lawsuit filed by Altria subsidiaries Helix Innovations and NJOY challenging the FDA's 2021 PMTA final rule. The companies dispute how the agency uses Acceptance and Filing reviews and completeness determinations to establish when the Tobacco Control Act's 180-day decision period begins. Reynolds has also linked prolonged PMTA reviews to competition from unauthorized vaping products. The FDA, meanwhile, has been accelerating reviews and reducing its backlog.

Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation party has proposed cutting tobacco excise by 75%, arguing that lower legal cigarette prices could narrow the gap with illicit tobacco and reduce demand for black-market products. The proposal comes as Australia continues expanding enforcement against illicit tobacco supply chains through border controls, retail inspections and organised-crime investigations. Supporters argue high taxes have contributed to illicit-market growth, while opponents warn that lower tobacco prices could undermine public-health goals. The proposal is a party policy position and has not been adopted by the Australian government.

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?
