Regulatory and market intelligence for the e-cigarette sector
One county in Utah has imposed new regulations on e-cigarettes in advance of legislation expected from the state government.
U.S. e-cigarette makers Victory Electronic Cigarettes and FIN Branding Group are to merge in an apparent attempt to create a firm that can compete at the retail checkout with the established tobacco companies, both at home and internationally.
U.S. tobacco giant Lorillard is to launch its Blu e-cigarette brand in the UK following the acquisition last autumn of British e-cig firm Skycig.
E-cigarettes represent one of the biggest growth opportunities for convenience store retailers in the U.S., a new study suggests.
Authorities in Taiwan have reiterated that the sale, import and manufacture of unapproved e-cigarettes is illegal in the country, and urged citizens to report vapers so that dealers can be tracked down – even though personal possession and use is permitted.
An Indian government ministry is interpreting a ban on tobacco advertising as extending to e-cigarettes too, raising further questions over how one of the world’s biggest markets will regulate the products.
Lorillard’s Blu e-cigarette now accounts for more than three percent of the tobacco giant’s entire business, and the brand is heading for a 50 percent share of the U.S. market.
The sale of e-cigarettes to under-18s is to be banned in England following heavy parliamentary favour for tighter smoking restrictions in a debate last night.
Consumers are more interested in the benefits of e-cigarettes than the politics surrounding them, but the overall e-cigarette concept may have caught imaginations more strongly than individual brands, a new social media study suggests.
Nicocigs is the latest British e-cigarette supplier to be criticised by the country’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over misleading advertising.
