From the outsider's point of view, Yao Jide's work gave him the opportunity to use tobacco first-hand, but from the insider's point of view, this is far from his what he has envisioned.

Invisible Opportunity

 

Back in the second half of 2004, e-cigarettes just came out. At that time, Mr. Yao Jide, the founder of Hangsen Group, was still researching pharmaceuticals in the Yunnan factory. By chance, Yao Jide saw the first-generation e-cigarette brand, Ruyan's products, and felt that it was a promising product with a lot of room for innovation. It happened that a raw material developed by him was extracted from scrap tobacco. At that time, several thousand tons of e-liquids were discarded each year, but these discarded e-liquids were all under the exclusive control of the National Tobacco Monopoly Law. So the factory had the permission to able to purchase large quantities at that time. A raw material for making the required health care products.

 

This is half of the story. "During this process, founder Yao Jide made full use of this waste raw material, and at the same time extracted some flavors and nicotine. So in this case, he was the first to come into contact with the most critical raw material of e-cigarettes. "From the outsider's point of view, Yao Jide's work gave him the opportunity to use tobacco first-hand, but from the insider's point of view, this is far from his what he has envisioned.

 

Quality First, Safety First

 

Today, Hangsen Group’s bottled e-liquid exports are first in volume. Seeing Hangsen Group’s growth step by step, Yao Haoyu shared the company's export experience: "From the feedback of foreign buyers and the market, it is a must to pay attention to product safety. Because of relation to personal health issues, Hangsen Group was the first to make independent compliance model. Hangsen Group has always insisted that quality and safety comes first."

 

National Enterprise, Leading Position

 

Dealing with foreign buyers and customers, and discussing export trade rules, Yao Haoyu can be regarded as an expert in this regard. Hangsen Group has production bases in many countries and regions around the world, including Europe, the United States, and even South Korea something few other companies will do. We are also present in the Americas and Africa. In the production base in Poland, once the production is completed, it can be delivered to customers in EU countries in a timely manner, so as to seize the time limit and greatly improve the transportation efficiency.

 

When asked, the development of Hangsen Group has spread all over the world in 2022, what is the core of future development? Yao Haoyu said in the interview: "Under the supervision of national policies, we operate in compliance with laws and regulations, promote products abroad, and strive for foreign exchange for the country. E-cigarettes is a national industry that is unique to our country. We gained leading position through the efforts of all enterprises, do not let it fall to other countries, this is what we want to do."

GSTHR Estimates 200 Million People Use Non-Combustible Nicotine Products as 28 Countries Show Rising Use Alongside Falling Smoking Rates
The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction, a project operated by Knowledge·Action·Change, estimates that about 200 million people worldwide use non-combustible nicotine products including vapes, heated tobacco, nicotine pouches and snus. Its 2026 report says use of these products rose alongside declining smoking rates in 28 countries it analyzed. The data do not establish that all 200 million users have quit smoking, nor do they prove a direct causal relationship. GSTHR also says regulatory restrictions on the products continue to expand in many markets.

JAMA Study: U.S. Vape Directories Fail to Sustainably Curb Unlisted Sales as Product Shifts May Redistribute Brand Share 2Firsts Recommended
A study by CDC Foundation researchers found no sustained decline in e-cigarette sales across Alabama, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the first three U.S. states to implement e-cigarette directory laws. Louisiana initially saw a significant sales decline, followed by a rebound and a persistent reduction in product availability. Sales also shifted from nontobacco-flavored disposables toward prefilled cartridges, with Vuse Alto driving much of the increase in menthol cartridges. By April 2025, unlisted products still accounted for more than half of e-cigarette nicotine sales in all three states.
