Embrace the Era of Excellence Expelling Mediocrity - 2FIRSTS New Year Messages 2024

 

 

This is the first message from 2FIRSTS in 2024. We extend our greetings to operators, researchers, regulators, non-profit organizations, and professionals from the global vaping industry. Happy New Year 2024!

 

In 2023, we have released 7,303 industry articles, conducted over 400 interviews, and hosted 14 live broadcasts of exhibitions on 2firsts.com and 2firsts.cn. We reported on-site from 13 countries and regions, including the U.S., the UK, Russia, the UAE, Indonesia, covering a distance equivalent to circling the Earth 3.2 times.

 

All these efforts serve a simple purpose—to inform you about the significant facts and issues occurring in the global vaping industry.

 

In the past year, a sense of anxiety has spread across the global vaping industry. Small businesses face increased survival pressure, and migrating to niche and emerging markets has become a lifeline. Large enterprises tread on thin ice amid growth stress, regulatory uncertainty, and public scrutiny.

 

Regulatory authorities are also facing mounting pressure. Complicated questions remain to be answered: how to curb the harm of vaping products to minors? How to combat counterfeit goods, and prevent illegal trade? The limitations of enforcement costs create a gap between ideals and reality.

 

Against this backdrop, we believe that the hope for the future can ease our anxiety.

 

Fortunately, global brands are gradually taking shape, possessing recognition and fulfilling social responsibilities to drive compliant development.

 

In traditional, mature e-cigarette markets, such as the EU, the U.S., Russia, and emerging markets, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, regulatory authorities are exploring new policies. Although their opinions differ, the very act of "addressing the issues" is a good start. Non-profit organizations worldwide never cease to speak out and take action, and the power of the public has laid the cornerstone for building confidence.

 

All of this has ignited hope: in the future, positive forces will rise to lead industry development. Global regulatory policies, market environments, and public opinions will provide more opportunities for excellent enterprises and products. Practices that used to earn a competitive advantage by avoiding compliance will lose magic.

 

Embrace the era of excellence expelling mediocrity, an era where the original aspiration of vaping industry is realized to make harm-reduction efforts. This is 2FIRSTS' New Year wish.

 

In 2024, 2FIRSTS will continuously focus on major global industrial events, make presence in various markets, and bring firsthand reports to readers. We will raise more questions and stimulate more discussions. Hopefully, we can connect global industry practitioners with facts, questions, and communication, promoting technology for good and industry for progress.

 

2FIRSTS is willing to join hands with you to open up a brighter future.

 

Happy New Year!

Arizona Turns to a 50% Retail Vape Tax as Tobacco Tax Revenue Falls 47% From 2008
Arizona Turns to a 50% Retail Vape Tax as Tobacco Tax Revenue Falls 47% From 2008
Arizona's First Things First is pushing for an excise tax equal to 50% of the retail price of vaping products, estimating that the measure could generate about $100 million annually. The agency says its tobacco-tax revenue has fallen 47% from 2008 levels. Arizona has attempted to broaden its nicotine tax base in each of the past two years: a 2025 bill proposed a 50% wholesale-price tax, while a 2026 measure shifted to a 50% retail-price tax covering alternative nicotine products and vapor products. Separately, the state enacted HB 4001 this year to establish a new licensing and sales framework for alternative nicotine products.

Smoke-Free Business Hits 42% of Q2 Net Revenue as PMI’s First TNFD Report Covers Single-Use Electronics, Critical Raw Materials and IQOS Repairs
Smoke-Free Business Hits 42% of Q2 Net Revenue as PMI’s First TNFD Report Covers Single-Use Electronics, Critical Raw Materials and IQOS Repairs
Philip Morris International has published its first report aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, bringing its electronics supply chain and the use and end-of-life stages of smoke-free devices and consumables into its nature-related assessment. PMI said its smoke-free business accounted for about 42% of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2026. The report says non-circular electronic products, particularly single-use items, can increase consumption of limited natural resources and also details an IQOS repair pilot. A 2040 circularity scenario tests assumptions including a 50% reduction in product waste-related costs, 10% raw-material savings and a 25% substitution rate for refurbished products versus new products.

China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for an oral nicotine delivery product designed to let users actively adjust nicotine release. The product embeds two types of nicotine reservoirs with different wall thicknesses and positions inside a deformable matrix. Pressure applied with the tongue or lips can rupture the reservoirs and accelerate nicotine release. In simulated oral tests, several patent examples showed sharply higher peak nicotine release rates as applied force increased from 0 N to 1 N and 3 N. The filing explores a shift from preset release profiles toward user-triggered nicotine delivery.

EU ‘TPD3’ Enters Next Phase on Aug. 14 as Fragmented Vape and Nicotine Pouch Rules Push the Single Market Toward Regulatory Overhaul
EU ‘TPD3’ Enters Next Phase on Aug. 14 as Fragmented Vape and Nicotine Pouch Rules Push the Single Market Toward Regulatory Overhaul
A 12-week European Commission consultation on revising the Tobacco Products Directive and Tobacco Advertising Directive is due to close on Aug. 14, 2026. The Commission has identified e-cigarette flavours, disposable vapes, tobacco heating devices, nicotine pouches, nicotine-free e-cigarettes, packaging and digital marketing among areas for possible new EU rules. National regulations already vary significantly across the bloc, a fragmentation the Commission says creates internal-market barriers and distorts competition. No formal revised TPD/TAD legislative text has yet been published, with the Commission currently indicating December 2026 for the legislative initiative.
