Germany's Inter Tabac launches a new focus on whether replacement e-cigarettes can become the next growth pole
Inter Tabac is the leading professional exhibition in the tobacco and tobacco industry in Europe and even around the world. The products exhibited include cigars, cigarettes, smoking utensils, new types of tobacco (including mouth cigarettes, e-cigarettes, HNB, etc.), e-cigarette manufacturing equipment, tobacco accessories, etc. Every year, it attracts nearly 60 countries, hundreds of exhibitors, and tens of thousands of visitors to gather together to share the feast of the tobacco industry. Recently, the negative attitude of multiple European governments towards disposable e-cigarettes has become rampant. How to view the existing classification of e-cigarette products in the European market and whether the market pattern will be reshuffled have become one of the most noteworthy issues at this exhibition.
Multiple governments have stated that disposable e-cigarettes may become a historical product of the European market
The rise of disposable e-cigarettes is due to their lightweight, cool appearance, affordable price, and easy operation characteristics, quickly occupying the market suitable for new types of tobacco in Europe and America. But also based on the above characteristics, it has become a reason for many people to criticize. Due to cost reasons, disposable e-cigarettes do not have high quality control and requirements. Due to their "fast consumption" attribute, although product homogeneity between brands is severe, they cannot form a unified quality certification standard, leading to the rampant occurrence of inferior and secondary products. The appeal of taste and appearance, as well as the "affordable price", has also led many teenagers (minors) to use disposable e-cigarettes as a source of nicotine for their first sip in life. It is worth noting that disposable non degradability and battery pollution are also the most important reasons for their verbal criticism.
According to Circularonline, the UK's resource recycling website, on September 4th, Clyde Loukes, the chairman of the North London Waste Authority (NLWA), has written to the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Environment, stating that disposable e-cigarettes face "logistics difficulties, labor intensity, and high cost" in recycling due to their "complex material composition", and has urged the government to ban them.
French Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne stated in an interview with RTL radio on September 3rd that the French government is planning to announce new plans to address the smoking problem, including a ban on the use of disposable e-cigarettes.
The European Union has proposed a plan to ban disposable e-cigarettes by the end of 2026.
Against the backdrop of strong attitudes towards disposable e-cigarettes by multiple government agencies, seeking alternative products in the market for disposable e-cigarettes has become a good way to reconcile the contradiction between user product needs and social responsibility awareness. Industry observers believe that cartridge replacement products are expected to become an alternative solution to compensate for the limitations of disposable e-cigarettes, and are about to usher in a new round of market explosion in the European market.

It is reported that there are not many brands participating in the German Inter Tabac cartridge swapping exhibition. It is worth noting that the Chinese top cartridge swapping e-cigarette brand RELX will make its debut at the exhibition. In addition, ANYX, an emerging brand that focuses on cotton core cartridge swapping, will also make its debut at Inter Tabac. In addition, as the world's largest manufacturer of replaceable ceramic atomization cores, FeelM, a technology brand under Simore, will not miss this excellent exposure opportunity. Traditional e-cigarette brand Geekvape will also appear at this exhibition.
