YOOZ Reveals Laboratory Photos and Enhances Compliance Operations
YOOZ柚子 disclosed their lab photos and established a product testing lab according to CNAS standards, demonstrating their commitment to scientific research.

YOOZ, one of the leading domestic electronic cigarette brands in China, recently released photos of its laboratory for the first time. According to Atom tech, YOOZ has established a product testing laboratory that complies with CNAS standards. The laboratory will reference CNAS laboratory testing standards and national standards for electronic cigarettes in its product research and development efforts.


It is understood that YOOZ has always adhered to a rigorous and impartial attitude towards scientific research as its long-term development goal, helping to promote stable innovation in the industry. As early as mid-2020, it established five detection matrices for physics, mechanics, chemistry, environment, and electricity, ensuring the entire user experience process is covered. Later, it gradually developed into a comprehensive laboratory with CNAS standards at its core, and worked with multiple organizations to provide even safer quality services for the market and consumers.


YOOZ, a popular brand in the electronic cigarette industry, has maintained a top position in the industry rankings thanks to its strong market performance. In the first half of this year, with the introduction of new regulations and national standards governing the electronic cigarette industry, the industry has entered a new era of compliance and YOOZ is strengthening its laboratory project construction. According to Atom tech, this may indicate that YOOZ has adapted to the new regulatory environment and is gradually forming a new market operating rhythm and technical layout.


Looking at the aggregation effects of branding, user experience, and compliance operations, the market strategy related to scientific research by YOOZ will help the brand return to its original focus on product quality. From a branding perspective, this move will further strengthen YOOZ's technological core competitive edge, deepen the brand's technological moat, and demonstrate YOOZ's commitment to its innovative business strategy of "long-termism" and "unbounded ambition." On the user side, a more stringent and efficient product testing process will enhance the user's sense of product safety.


From a regulatory policy standpoint, in April of this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standardization Management Committee) approved a mandatory national standard for electronic cigarettes, which will be implemented starting October 1, 2022. According to the terms, "the tobacco monopoly administrative department of the State Council shall organize professional institutions to conduct technical evaluation of electronic cigarette products based on inspection and testing reports and other application materials." The product's technical ability to meet the evaluation standards has become crucial for brand survival and market entry, given the strict technical evaluation process before products can be launched. To preempt risk, YOOZ has strategically invested in technology to comply with the new regulatory policies and adapt to the new game rules.


However, under the new political and operational environment, YOOZ, as a brand worth paying attention to in the industry, has some future plans and compliance operational strategies that adhere to the principles of "long-termism" on their scientific research and development path. These developments are highly anticipated.

Reuters Tracks Big Tobacco’s Shift Beyond Cigarettes as Nicotine Pouches Vie for the Next Growth Curve
As cigarette markets face long-term pressure, major tobacco companies are increasingly turning to nicotine pouches in search of growth beyond combustible tobacco. Reuters has examined whether nicotine pouches can become the next strategic growth platform for companies including Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco and Japan Tobacco. PMI strengthened its position through the acquisition of Swedish Match and its ZYN brand, while BAT and JTI continue expanding their own nicotine pouch portfolios. The category has gained attention because of its smoke-free, device-free format, but regulation, youth-use concerns and market scale will determine whether it can become a long-term growth engine.

Science | International Experts Propose a New Smoking Cessation Pathway, Citing Higher Quit Rates With E-Cigarettes Than Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Science | International Experts Propose a New Smoking Cessation Pathway, Citing Higher Quit Rates With E-Cigarettes Than Nicotine Replacement Therapy
A new expert paper in JAMA urges U.S. clinicians to include nicotine e-cigarettes in smoking-cessation discussions, citing higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy. It also stresses that products must deliver enough nicotine to replace cigarettes, dual use should be brief, and complete switching is the goal. 2Firsts argues the recommendations matter beyond clinics: public-health professionals should reassess relative risk, regulators should preserve sufficient product appeal for adult smokers, and manufacturers should focus on helping users quit cigarettes more sustainably.

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.
