YOOZ Launches Comprehensive Laboratory to Meet New E-Cigarette Regulations
YOOZ builds a comprehensive lab to promote research and innovation for electronic cigarettes, prioritizing quality and safety.

Starting from May 1, 2022, the mandatory national standard for electronic cigarettes was approved by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Management Committee. The "Regulations on the Management of Electronic Cigarettes" issued by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration will also come into effect. The orderly implementation of the national standard and regulations not only marks the formal entry of the electronic cigarette industry into a phase with legal compliance, but also serves as a driving force for guiding electronic cigarette companies to gradually develop in the direction of scientific research and innovation. In order to better implement regulatory requirements and promote comprehensive innovation in the industry through scientific and technological innovation, YOOZ, a leading electronic cigarette company, has recently publicly launched a comprehensive laboratory built around CNAS standards.


In response, YOOZ, a department related to the company, stated that the implementation of both the national standard for electronic cigarettes and the new regulations is a boost for the long-term development of the industry. YOOZ has consistently relied on scientific research to support a more sustainable industry development strategy. This is both a responsibility and a necessary attitude for electronic cigarette companies to maintain a stable development trajectory.


With meticulous analysis, we always adhere to the principle of "customer first.


As we all know, consumers' greatest concerns always revolve around product quality and safety. Electronic cigarettes, which are often thought to have a low technological threshold, are at risk of having their quality and safety overlooked. However, the lower the technological threshold of a product, the greater the need for safety production and compliance. Prior to regulations being enforced, the electronic cigarette market was filled with various generic and fake products. Guarding consumer safety has become one of the crucial issues in the development of the industry. As a leading enterprise in the industry, YOOZ has always upheld the principle of "putting users first" and continuously strives to protect consumer rights.


Although e-cigarettes are often mocked as low-tech products, every production process and component must go through a rigorous and safe production process to prevent products with quality defects from entering the market. YOOZ's laboratory took half a year to prepare and put into use, and was built in accordance with CNAS standards. The testing center mainly consists of a physical laboratory, a chemical laboratory, an electrical laboratory, and an environmental laboratory, with more than 70 instruments and the ability to conduct over 100 standardized tests. YOOZ has a standardized testing method and strict quality management system in place for quality control and testing, thoroughly evaluating product performance, reliability, and safety throughout the product development process.


YOOZ Citrus Detection Center has developed simulated artificial smoking detection devices that mimic users' daily habits to provide more accurate experiences. Additionally, these devices help the company develop products that meet the needs of different users and provide more options. In addition, the batteries used in YOOZ products undergo over 400 cycles of charge and discharge in a longevity laboratory, as well as safety performance testing under various extreme conditions. This ensures that the product has good performance when frequently used by users.


It is noteworthy that the YOOZ Lemon Lab has taken the initiative to add a waterproof test in accordance with the National Standard for Electronic Cigarettes and the Measures for the Administration of Electronic Cigarettes. This demonstrates YOOZ Lemon's determination and implementation speed in compliance development, as well as their effort to improve and meet national standard requirements.


Moving towards research-oriented businesses is the development goal and mission of electronic cigarette companies.


YOOZ Laboratory not only bears the responsibility of safety and innovation, but also serves as a central hub that connects and streamlines the upstream and downstream industries. For businesses, the laboratory takes control of both research and production standards, leading to a more selective and high-quality choice of suppliers through strict requirements. This stimulates the development of the supply chain by reversing the stimulating effect of R&D capabilities, resulting in the production of safer, more environmentally friendly, and more cost-effective products that fully satisfy consumers' needs.


In the future, YOOZ will continue to prioritize consumer satisfaction and aim for long-term growth. They will spare no effort in ensuring compliance, safety, scientific research, innovation, and environmental friendliness, serving as a model for industry leaders. They will actively recruit talent and use their technological capabilities to push forward the development of the electronic cigarette industry, bringing more value to the industry's progress.

EU Tobacco Tax Reform Targets November Push as Sweden Holds Nicotine-Pouch Minimum at €20 per Kilogram
EU Tobacco Tax Reform Targets November Push as Sweden Holds Nicotine-Pouch Minimum at €20 per Kilogram
The Irish presidency of the Council of the European Union is using bilateral talks to push the bloc’s Tobacco Taxation Directive toward a political agreement in November. According to Law360, citing an EU official, Sweden is unwilling to accept a minimum excise threshold above €20 per kilogram for nicotine pouches. Council negotiations have already lowered the European Commission’s original proposal, but a May 2026 presidency compromise still set the minimum at 10% of the tax-inclusive retail price or €30 per kilogram in 2028-29, with higher levels later.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.

PMI Launches Fourth IQOS Convenience-Store Discount of 2026 for Black Friday in Japan, Cutting ILUMA i ONE to About $19 After Ploom AURA Fell to About $9
Philip Morris Japan launched its fourth confirmed nationwide convenience-store discount campaign for IQOS ILUMA i devices in 2026 on October 26, cutting three models by as much as ¥2,000, or about $12.70. The campaign began one day after JT ended a promotion that reduced Ploom AURA to ¥1,480, or about $9.40. JT says Ploom's share of Japan's heated-products category rose from 10.9% in January 2024 to 18.3% in June 2026, a gain of 7.4 percentage points, while PMI says IQOS still held about 68% category share in the third quarter. At the same time, Japan's two-stage heated-tobacco tax adjustment has pushed stick prices higher, leaving device discounts as an increasingly important tool for lowering the upfront cost of customer acquisition.
