As the official cooperating media of this exhibition, 2FIRSTS has been involved in the full coverage of the event. Ellesmere Zhu, Editor-in-Chief of 2FIRSTS International, was invited to attend the exhibition and delivered a speech at the forum on the topic of "A Review of the Global Market in 2023 and Suggestions for the Russian Market in 2024." He provided a profound analysis of the product trends and development paths in the global market in 2023, as well as predictions for the Russian market in 2024.

Firstly, Ellesmere Zhu analyzed the global policy and product trends for 2023. He believes that global regulation is becoming stricter and environmental issues are increasingly prominent. High-capacity and display screen products are gradually becoming the market mainstream. Zhui Hongxu stated that by summarizing and organizing global regulatory trends, regardless of whether it is plain packaging, increased taxation, or stricter restrictions on flavors and nicotine content, the ultimate goal of e-cigarette regulation is to make it less attractive and less likely to be tried by non-nicotine users, returning to the essence of tobacco, similar to traditional cigarettes. Ellesmere Zhu also mentioned that based on this, industry practitioners can make a broad prediction about the future local regulations.

In discussing the future trends of Russian brands and markets, Ellesmere Zhu urged e-cigarette companies to take on more social responsibility. This includes operating in compliance with regulations, protecting youth, implementing environmental measures, participating in consumer education, and standing against grey and black market products. Local Russian businesses should actively embrace industry changes and strive to be agents of change through innovation. They should also expand their brand size by venturing into international markets, aiming for greater global market impact.

FDA Unifies Tobacco Registration and Product Listing Form Across Product Categories
FDA Unifies Tobacco Registration and Product Listing Form Across Product Categories
The U.S. FDA has consolidated two tobacco establishment registration and product listing forms into a redesigned Form FDA 3741 covering all regulated product categories, including e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products and nicotine pouches. The current requirements remain limited to domestic establishments. Separately, the FDA has proposed extending registration and product listing requirements to foreign manufacturers, signaling greater regulatory attention to manufacturing entities and product-level information across the tobacco and nicotine supply chain.

JAMA Study: U.S. Vape Directories Fail to Sustainably Curb Unlisted Sales as Product Shifts May Redistribute Brand Share 2Firsts Recommended
JAMA Study: U.S. Vape Directories Fail to Sustainably Curb Unlisted Sales as Product Shifts May Redistribute Brand Share 2Firsts Recommended
A study by CDC Foundation researchers found no sustained decline in e-cigarette sales across Alabama, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the first three U.S. states to implement e-cigarette directory laws. Louisiana initially saw a significant sales decline, followed by a rebound and a persistent reduction in product availability. Sales also shifted from nontobacco-flavored disposables toward prefilled cartridges, with Vuse Alto driving much of the increase in menthol cartridges. By April 2025, unlisted products still accounted for more than half of e-cigarette nicotine sales in all three states.

UK HMRC Launches Vape Duty Stamps on October 1, Ushering in Supply-Chain Traceability as Chinese Exporters Face New Compliance Hurdles
UK HMRC Launches Vape Duty Stamps on October 1, Ushering in Supply-Chain Traceability as Chinese Exporters Face New Compliance Hurdles
HM Revenue & Customs put the UK's Vaping Products Duty and Vaping Duty Stamps Scheme into effect on October 1. All vaping liquids manufactured in or imported into the UK are now subject to duty at £2.20 per 10ml, regardless of nicotine content. The stamp regime will introduce digital functionality designed to provide traceability throughout the supply chain, with approved manufacturers, importers and warehousekeepers required to report product movements and retailers and consumers eventually able to scan stamps to verify authenticity. China exported $177 million of vape-related products to the UK in August, up 51.4% year over year, increasing the significance of the new compliance regime for China's Shenzhen-centered vape supply chain.

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.
