In a significant move for the American vape industry, Arkansas has officially become the 12th U.S. state to pass a vape product registration law. On April 14, 2025, Arkansas Governor signed Senate Bill 252 (SB252) into law, now codified as Act 590, signaling a tightening of regulations surrounding E-cigarette sales within the state.

This development carries wide-ranging implications for vapor product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers—especially those dealing in fruit flavored vape products and disposable devices. As the landscape continues to shift due to federal and state-level scrutiny, the Arkansas law underscores a growing trend: stricter oversight and mandatory compliance pathways for all players in the vape supply chain.

In a rapidly evolving global landscape for vape and E-cigarette products, China continues to play a dominant role as the world’s leading exporter of personal vaporization devices. According to the latest data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, the country’s E-cigarette exports for March 2025 reached approximately $864.83 million USD, marking a 4.84% year-over-year increase from the $825 million exported in March 2024.

This steady growth reflects not only China’s strong manufacturing capabilities in the vape industry but also the global consumer demand for alternative nicotine delivery systems, including fruit flavored vape products. However, geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes, and shifting market preferences are beginning to reshape trade dynamics — most notably with Germany overtaking the U.K. as China’s second-largest export destination for vapor products for the first time.
