“built in the USA and Texas vape-registry compliant.”

Regulatory Background: Texas Bans E-Cigarettes Made in “Hostile Countries”

 

 

As previously reported by 2Firsts, the State of Texas has enacted a new law — effective September 1 — that prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes containing components manufactured in China or in other nations designated by the U.S. as “foreign adversaries.”

 

Key Provisions of the New Law Include:

 

  • Ban on youth-targeted marketing:
    Prohibits packaging that includes cartoons, celebrity names, or imagery imitating candy, fruit juice, and other food products.
  • Ban on disguised e-cigarettes:
    Prohibits products designed to look like everyday objects such as highlighters, pens, cosmetics, smartwatches, or USB drives.
  • Ban on products from specific origins:
    Prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes wholly or partially manufactured in China or other listed “foreign adversary” countries.
  • Ban on illegal additives:
    Prohibits e-cigarettes containing cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom, tianeptine, or other restricted substances.

 

The law also broadens the definition of e-cigarettes to include non-nicotine devices.


It defines an e-cigarette as:

 

“An electronic cigarette or any other device that delivers nicotine or other substances to a person inhaling from it by means of mechanical heating elements, batteries, or electronic circuits; or (ii) a consumable liquid solution or other material vaporized or aerosolized during the use of such a device, whether or not it contains nicotine.”

Juul Sublicense Reshapes Vuse Alto Patent Bill as Court Ends R.J. Reynolds’ 5.25% Royalty Obligation to Altria
Juul Sublicense Reshapes Vuse Alto Patent Bill as Court Ends R.J. Reynolds’ 5.25% Royalty Obligation to Altria
According to Law360 on August 31, 2026, a federal judge in North Carolina ruled that a patent sublicense between R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. and Juul Labs Inc. relieves Reynolds of its obligation to continue paying royalties to Altria Client Services LLC over Vuse Alto. A jury had previously found that Vuse Alto infringed three Altria patents and awarded approximately $95.2 million in past damages, after which Reynolds was ordered to pay an ongoing royalty equal to 5.25% of positive net sales. The new ruling finds that a valid sublicense can eliminate future infringement, potentially ending what Altria described as hundreds of millions of dollars in future royalties.

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.

China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei Industrial Co., Ltd. disclosed several oral nicotine-related patent applications in August 2026, including two that approach staged nicotine release from different directions. One uses a high-viscosity membrane that forms inside the pouch after contact with saliva to slow rapid early release, while the other uses gradient particles with a faster-disintegrating outer layer and a slower core to create a fast-to-sustained release profile. Together, the filings explore how nicotine pouches could balance initial delivery with release later in use.

Philip Morris Malaysia Again Meets Religious Authority Over Cigarette Alternatives as Perlis Mufti Responds on Halal Criteria
Philip Morris Malaysia Managing Director Naeem Shahab Khan met Perlis Mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin on September 17 and presented the company's shift from conventional cigarettes toward alternative products. The mufti said a product could be considered halal if it is clean, its side effects are not harmful or can be controlled, and it does not involve excessive waste. His remarks did not mention IQOS or any other specific PMI product and did not amount to a new product-specific religious ruling. It was at least the second publicly reported engagement between Philip Morris Malaysia and a Malaysian religious institution over cigarette alternatives within six months.
