Vaping around the world——Asia

Asia: Home to the Vaping Industry

Asia has emerged as a significant player in the vaping industry, both as a manufacturing hub and a growing market. China, where modern e-cigarettes were invented, is the world’s largest producer of vaping devices and components. Major vaping brands have manufacturing facilities in China, catering to global demand.

However, the regulatory landscape for vaping varies greatly across Asian countries. While some, like Japan and South Korea, have implemented strict regulations on nicotine-containing products, others, like Malaysia and the Philippines, have embraced vaping as a less harmful alternative to smoking.

Some countries are more open to vaping, while others face challenges with the rules. Vaping is not just a habit but a way of life for many people from different backgrounds. As vapers, we need to know and follow the rules in our own countries and respect other countries’ regulations when we travel.
