On February 22, the Total Product Expo (TPE) will be held in Las Vegas.

 

More than 500 manufacturers will participate in this exhibition, including more than 40 distributors in the e-cigarette industry and more than 70 e-cigarette brand merchants. In addition, many well-known domestic e-cigarette companies will also participate in this exhibition, such as ELFBAR, SMOORE, ZOVOO, FirstUnion, INNOKIN, Zhenwei Technology (ZINWI), etc.

 

TPE is the largest tobacco exhibition throughout the entire Americas. It is held yearly at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the United States and has been successfully held for 22 sessions. TPE has a strong leading position in the sales market of international and American products. TPE reflects the new development trend of the North American tobacco industry. The exhibition includes cigarettes, cigars, smoking sets, shredded tobacco, flavors, etc.

 

According to the "2022 E-cigarette Industry Export Blue Book" report by Juanjuan thinktank, the United States is the largest e-cigarette consumption market, with 13.5 million consumers, accounting for half of the e-cigarette consumption market. American consumers have significant roles in the European market.

 

The 2Firsts Washington News Center staff members will go to Las Vegas and follow up on the exhibition. At the same time, 2Firsts will interview on-site exhibitors, dock with distributors and channel operators, and collect first-hand data to demonstrate the US e-cigarette market.

As Regulators Focus on Nicotine Pouch Child Safety, Safeguard Pursues an External Packaging Route
As regulators pay closer attention to child safety in nicotine pouches, manufacturers face a practical challenge: how to strengthen child-resistant packaging without unnecessarily reworking products, production lines and regulatory submissions already in place. In a written interview with 2Firsts, Chemular detailed Safeguard’s external packaging approach, its customer-specific testing requirements and possible PMTA pathways. The model remains early-stage, but it offers a new way to think about an increasingly important regulatory and manufacturing issue.

Japan Survey Finds 49.5% Would Cut Tobacco Use if Prices Rise, 64.6% Show Interest in Nicotine-Free Alternatives
A September online survey commissioned by Japanese smoking-accessories company Lightec found that 49.5% of respondents would consider reducing tobacco use if prices rose further, while 25.1% would consider switching to cheaper brands and 14.5% would consider using or combining alternatives such as vapes and nicotine-free herbal sticks. Another 64.6% expressed some level of interest in such alternatives. The survey covered 1,088 respondents aged 20 to 70 and was conducted by a company that sells NICOLESS nicotine-free vaping and herbal-stick products, meaning its findings should not be treated as representative of Japan's smoking population.

Wisconsin Vape Directory One Year On: Retailer Reports Four Store Closures and 70% Staff Cuts
Wisconsin Vape Directory One Year On: Retailer Reports Four Store Closures and 70% Staff Cuts
Wisconsin's electronic vaping device directory has been fully enforced for more than a year, and local vape retailers say the reduced range of eligible products has contributed to declining sales, store closures and layoffs. Johnny Vapes owner Ben Hall said he has closed four of seven locations and cut about 70% of his staff. State law bars the sale of vaping devices not listed on the Wisconsin Department of Revenue directory and allows penalties of $1,000 per day for each unlisted device sold or offered for sale. In April 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit allowed enforcement of the law to continue.
