VUSE GO: Newest Product at Dortmund Tobacco Exhibition
2FIRSTS visited BAT's booth at the Dortmund tobacco expo and interviewed Daniel, who mentioned market changes and upcoming VUSE GO product launch.

2FIRSTS Interviews Daniel.


Daniel expressed that the past two years have been greatly impacted by the pandemic, with only participating in some online trade shows to barely maintain retail operations. Therefore, returning to the Dortmund tobacco expo this time is seen as a joyful event. Compared to the previous Dortmund tobacco expo, some changes in market structure were observed at this event. Daniel mentioned that "we can now see more small companies. Some of the big companies, who used to always exhibit as major suppliers, did not show up this time around.


During a discussion about products, a 2FIRSTS employee was drawn to a large "VUSE GO" poster displayed on a wall. They picked up the VUSE GO product from a display rack at the front desk and discovered that it was only the packaging. Daniel explained that it was just a demo and that the VUSE GO was going to be released soon. The poster below clearly stated "COMING SOON.

According to reports, VUSE GO is a disposable e-cigarette product launched as part of the VUSE series and is only available in a limited market. The official VUSE website states that VUSE GO comes in six different flavors, including watermelon, mango, blueberry, strawberry, mint, and creamy tobacco. Each device can be used for up to 500 puffs and comes in two variants with nicotine concentrations of 10mg and 20mg. In the UK, a single VUSE GO is priced at £5.99, while a package of six is available for £20.


According to reports, VUSE has surpassed JUUL as the top-selling e-cigarette in the United States this August. Even earlier, on July 27th, British American Tobacco announced during its half-year financial report that VUSE GO would be widely distributed throughout the European market in the second half of the year. The posters displayed on the wall at a tobacco exhibition in Dortmund seem to suggest that the full release of VUSE GO in Europe is not far away.

Malaysia Liquid Nicotine Returns to Poisons List, Leaving Vape Retail and RM354 Million Tax Collection in Legal Uncertainty
Malaysia Liquid Nicotine Returns to Poisons List, Leaving Vape Retail and RM354 Million Tax Collection in Legal Uncertainty
Malaysia’s withdrawal of its appeal in a landmark liquid-nicotine case has left a High Court ruling that struck down the 2023 nicotine exemption in force, bringing liquid and gel nicotine used in vaping products back under the Poisons Act 1952. At the same time, the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024 continues to provide a regulatory framework for vaping products, creating uncertainty over retail sales, taxation and existing inventory. MPs are calling for nicotine vape sales and excise collection to stop, including refunds of more than RM354 million collected since 2023, while industry and consumer groups are asking the government to clarify the current legal position.

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.

BAT New Categories Revenue Rises 18% in H1 2026 as Broad Portfolio Offers More Ways to Win—and Lose
British American Tobacco’s New Category revenue rose 18% at constant rates in the first half of 2026. Nicotine-pouch brand Velo expanded rapidly, while Vuse recovered as U.S. enforcement against illicit e-vapor products strengthened. Heated-tobacco platform glo remained under pressure, and cigarettes continued to provide most of the group’s profit and cash. Compared with PMI and JT, BAT has more routes to growth—but also greater regulatory, investment and execution risks across its broader portfolio.
