  1. Modeling study puts youth vaping lifetime mortality effect between 0 and 31 days Market

    A simulation published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine models Americans who were 12 in 2016 and estimates that e-cigarette use shifts lifetime premature mortality by no more than 0.44 percentage points, or up to 31 days of life.

  2. UKVIA asks MPs for vape retail licensing with fines up to £100,000 Regulation

October 26, 2026

  1. What Three Vape Publications Disclose About Their Editorial Work Guides & Lists

    A comparison of three public policy pages separates authorship, sourcing, correction promises and commercial relationships from claims that have been independently verified.

  2. Matching a UN 38.3 Test Summary to the Battery or Product Industry

    PHMSA permits a battery model or, for a product containing a battery, the product model. A brand name alone leaves the connection unresolved.

  3. New Zealand’s Daily-Vaping Estimate Holds Near Its Previous Level Market

    The 2024/25 survey estimated 11.7% among people aged 15 and over; the ministry describes the annual comparison as similar.

  4. Three State Vaping Information Pages, Three Different Kinds of Answer Guides & Lists

    California's searchable list, Indiana's dated notices and Iowa's publication-status page are not interchangeable. A small audit shows what each public route can—and cannot—establish.

  5. Vapexpo Paris Announces April 2027 Dates; Ticketing Is Due in February Events

    The organizer names Pavilion 6 at Porte de Versailles. Conference recordings and cumulative attendance figures belong to earlier editions.

  6. JTI’s Packaging Figures Depend on Material Weight and Reporting Scope Industry

    The company's 2025 figures describe packaging composition and recyclability, not the recovery rate of discarded devices.

  7. SMOK Nord 5: What the Pod Lock Secures Reviews

    SMOK describes coil retention. Its product page does not establish a blanket child-safety or leakproof certification.

  8. Inside Canada’s Vape Sales Dashboard: Shipments, Values and Liquid Volumes Market

    The 2023–24 dashboard follows manufacturer and importer shipments. Its reporting rules explain why the units cannot be mixed.

  9. Doric Galaxy Lists Separate Capacities for Its Pen and Power Bank Products

    The pen is rated at 500 mAh and its companion bank at 1,800 mAh. Those labels alone cannot establish completed recharges.

  10. Nova Scotia’s 2026 Vape Stamp Transition Has Ended Regulation

    The province-specific stamp became mandatory in the duty-paid market on July 1. Product composition and labelling remain separate requirements.

  11. What a 2025 Design Award Actually Records Guides & Lists

    Two official winner records illustrate why an award year, a category, a design description and a jury statement should not be collapsed into a claim of universal superiority.

  12. TABEXPO 2027’s Johannesburg Announcement Conflicts With an Outside Listing Events

    VapeBrief's calculation separates the contributions behind BAT's £277 million reported revenue increase.

  16. Aspire Flexus Pro Documentation Identifies Two Pod Constructions Products

  17. New Zealand’s Battery Rule Changed After Its Disposable-Vape Ban Regulation
