Two Developed Countries Announce Their First Vaping Expos in 2018

 In 2018, Japan and New Zealand, two developed countries, announced that they would host their first e-cigarette expos.

  This will break the history of both countries not holding e-cigarette exhibitions!

  Is the exhibition information true? Let’s take a look!

 

1. Japan's First International E-Cigarette Expo

  The first International E-Cigarette Expo in Japan will be held from March 29 to 31, 2018, at the Osaka International Exhibition Center, Hall 3. This three-day expo is Japan's first professional e-cigarette exhibition, covering an area of 8,000 square meters, and is expected to have 180 exhibitors from 25 countries and regions.

  The Japan International E-Cigarette Expo will focus on the popular topics of “health” and “environmental protection.” In recent years, the Japanese government has improved a large number of relevant regulations and laws; at the same time, in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the enforcement of smoking bans has been continuously strengthened. With the deepening of smoking ban policies and health concepts, e-cigarettes (vapes), which produce only water vapor and do not contain tar, carbon monoxide, nicotine, or other harmful substances, have become the choice of more Japanese consumers.

  The Japan International E-Cigarette Expo aims to build a bridge for communication between Japan and the global e-cigarette industry based on the principle of “mutual benefit and win-win.” It also opens a channel for global e-cigarette companies to understand Japan. Additionally, this expo will strictly comply with local laws and regulations in Japan. Exhibits must provide CE certification and RoHS certification, such as batteries, e-cigarette devices, atomizers, etc.; the e-liquids exhibited must comply with Japanese laws and regulations and cannot contain nicotine.

  The Japan International E-Cigarette Expo will set high standards of “high specifications, professionalism, and authority” to let Japanese e-cigarette products reach the world and let the world recognize the Japanese e-cigarette market. Let us look forward to the opening of the Japan International E-Cigarette Expo in 2018!

   

2. New Zealand's First International E-Cigarette Expo

  The first International E-Cigarette Expo in New Zealand will be held on December 1-2, 2018, at the New Zealand First Exhibition Center located in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand. The expo is organized by the E-Cigarette Trade Association, VAPE KINGZ, and CECMOL E-Cigarette Online, in collaboration with the Auckland APAIS BOARD. Exhibits will include: e-cigarettes, e-cigarette boxes/pens, atomizers; e-liquids, e-liquid bottles, and other storage devices; batteries, heating wires, cotton, and other accessories.

  This expo will be the first and largest professional B2B and B2C e-cigarette exhibition in Oceania, with an expected participation of 230 exhibitors from 35 countries and regions. The organizers will invite over 100 globally recognized vape websites and vape magazines, 120 industry B2B websites and exhibition websites, and various media from domestic and international multi-channel social platforms to provide follow-up publicity for the expo; and will establish agents worldwide to promote the event globally, with an expected reach of over 7 million people.

  This expo will focus on the theme of “creating a smoke-free environment,” discussing how e-cigarettes can replace traditional cigarettes in New Zealand, where e-cigarette sales are fully legalized, alongside the global e-cigarette industry. New Zealand has long advocated for a “smoke-free policy” and has recently proposed the slogan “Achieving a smoke-free nation by 2025.”

  To achieve the smoke-free goal, the New Zealand government strongly encourages e-cigarettes to replace traditional cigarettes, with the Ministry of Health stating, “We believe that e-cigarettes will contribute to the smoke-free goal by 2025.” As Lawrence, president of the E-Cigarette Trade Association, said, a revolution is happening in New Zealand, with more and more smokers turning to e-cigarettes to reduce health and economic burdens. New Zealand has the potential to become the second UK market. In addition to policy support, Oceania, especially New Zealand, has a large consumer market. According to statistics, the per capita income in New Zealand is $29,698, with strong purchasing power and a large market size. The dual benefits of policy and market will promote the rapid development of e-cigarettes in New Zealand and Oceania.

  This Oceania expo will be an excellent opportunity for e-cigarette exhibitors from various countries to enter Oceania. The organizers will present each expo with “high specifications, professionalism, and authority.” On December 1-2, 2018, let us log into Oceania and witness the history of the e-cigarette industry in Oceania.
