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.

JTI Research Finds 31% of UK Respondents Offered Illicit Tobacco, While 63% of Ennis Packs Lack Duty Marks
JTI Research Finds 31% of UK Respondents Offered Illicit Tobacco, While 63% of Ennis Packs Lack Duty Marks
Multiple JTI-backed studies in the UK and Ireland indicate that illicit tobacco remains visible across consumer interactions and local markets. In the UK, JTI research found that 31% of respondents said they had been offered illicit tobacco products. In Ireland’s Ennis area, a JTI-commissioned empty pack survey found that 63% of sampled cigarette packs did not carry Irish duty-paid markings. The findings come from industry research rather than official government estimates of illicit tobacco market size, but highlight continued concerns among regulators, legitimate retailers and tobacco companies over illicit trade.

Couche-Tard Posts Double-Digit U.S. Same-Store Growth in Other Nicotine Products, Led by Pouches
Alimentation Couche-Tard said U.S. same-store sales in its “other nicotine products” category grew at a double-digit rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, led by nicotine pouches, while overall U.S. same-store merchandise revenues increased 1.7%. The company also said its Canadian nicotine business continued to face regulatory pressure and illicit-market headwinds. The U.S. performance coincides with Couche-Tard's participation in efforts to reopen Canadian convenience-store access to authorized nicotine pouches, though the company has not established a direct causal link between the two.
