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.

Reynolds Puts Nearly 183,000 U.S. Contracted Outlets Under Age-Verification Rules, Covering 94% of Volume — Can It Shift an Unauthorized Vape Market?
Reynolds American says nearly 183,000 U.S. retail outlets are under contract, with its Retail Marketing Plan Contract covering about 94% of company volume and requiring point-of-sale age verification. The company combines those contracts with We Card, TruAge, NACS-linked infrastructure and POS integration, while enhanced Vuse Pro retail rules add ID scanning, purchase limits and stronger underage-sales accountability. The initial Vuse Pro rollout targets about 50,000 stores. The system is taking shape as unauthorized vapor products remain dominant in parts of the U.S. market: a 2026 study estimated they accounted for 69.4% of tracked brick-and-mortar e-cigarette dollar sales in December 2025.

Special Report | Russia Places Four JTI Businesses Under Temporary Management, a First for Tobacco Majors
Russia has placed shares in four Japan Tobacco International businesses under temporary management, the first such move involving a major global tobacco manufacturer, according to Interfax. JTI held 35.8% of Russia's tobacco market by volume in the first nine months of 2026. While British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands have exited Russia, Philip Morris International continues operating there. As the market changes and diplomatic efforts continue, could international tobacco companies that left Russia eventually return?
