【By 2Firsts】On May 22, 2Firsts noticed that the well-known American e-cigarette distribution platform DEMANDVAPE has officially launched a registration system and explicitly stated that it is only open to enterprise users.

 

On its official website homepage, DEMANDVAPE prominently states in bold red font:

It is worth noting that before this, DEMANDVAPE was a platform open to all users, allowing them to browse all product information without the need for registration.

 

Meanwhile, DEMANDVAPE has added a longer warning statement to the bottom of its homepage, addressing health risks associated with nicotine use, battery safety tips, and user responsibilities:

 

"Warning: This product is intended for use only by individuals aged 21 and older. Children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, those at risk, or currently taking antidepressants or asthma medication should not use this product. If you have allergies or sensitivities to nicotine or any inhalable ingredients, consult a doctor before use. This product is for recreational use only and is not a smoking cessation product, nor has it been tested for smoking cessation efficacy. Nicotine is highly addictive, so keep this product out of reach of children. This product contains nicotine, which has been classified by the state of California as a harmful substance that may cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."

In addition, the warning also detailed the potential risks of lithium batteries and put forward a number of safety operation suggestions, including avoiding the use of unapproved charging equipment, not charging unattended, using fireproof containers, and avoiding mixing battery brands and models. The warning pointed out that improper operation could lead to overheating, explosions, personal injury, or even death.

 

Finally, DEMANDVAPE reminds customers that the prices listed on the website are base prices, and prices may slightly increase after selecting certain configurations.

 

It is worth mentioning that 2Firsts also discovered that another well-known American e-cigarette distributor website, MIDWEST DISTRIBUTION, has also implemented a registration system, restricting access to only approved corporate clients.

2FIRSTS EXCLUSIVE|China Breaks Up $6.8 Million Illegal Hookah Tobacco Operation as Market Expands
Chinese authorities have dismantled an illegal hookah tobacco operation worth more than 46 million yuan ($6.8 million), detaining five foreign suspects and seizing over 500,000 boxes of tobacco paste. The case comes as hookah expands across China’s nightlife sector and attracts overseas operators, including former vaping entrepreneurs. It also raises a central regulatory question: whether waterpipe tobacco will follow China’s private-sector e-cigarette licensing model or be reserved for the state tobacco system, as with nicotine pouches, in the years ahead.

Australian Coalition Taskforce Calls for 80% Tobacco Tax Cut to Combat Illicit Market
According to SGST on August 26, 2026, Australia’s Coalition Illegal Tobacco Taskforce released a report recommending an up to 80% cut in tobacco excise to reduce the appeal of the illicit tobacco market. The report claimed organised crime groups now control about 80% of Australia’s tobacco market and argued that high excise rates have widened the price gap between legal and illegal products. The recommendation remains a policy proposal and has not been adopted by the Australian government, which said its focus remains on enforcement, compliance and additional resources.
