READY FOR Vape-off

Travelling vapers flying from Beirut Airport will now have exclusive access to the Middle East’s first e-cigarette lounge thanks to ANDS – owner and distributor of alternative nicotine delivery systems. “Until now vapers have been forced to use smoking lounges in airports, exposing them to a product that many are trying to get away from.” The rooms take a month to build and come with special ventilation and indoor air quality measures. The vape company already serves major retailers including Lagardère Group, Gebr Heinemann and Dufry in airports in the Middle East as well as Europe at Frankfurt and Vienna airports.

GOING Postal

London-listed Chill Brands’ shares skyrocket after the company scores exciting new agreement with specialist carriers to ship nicotine-free vapour products across all US states in June. The deal will allow American customers to opt for delivery from the company directly to their homes despite major carriers continuing to restrict shipment of the goods. A 2019 act blocked the US postal service from shipping fellow vaping brands’ merchandise – preventing many competitors from making online directto-customer sales. Chief Executive of Chill Brands – Callum Sommerton –also reassured customers that their shipping partners would “deploy ageverification protocols” to prevent children from buying the products.

World No Tobacco Day is an annual event held on May 31st that aims to inform the public on the dangers of tobacco. This year’s celebration brings light to the crop production and marketing opportunities for tobacco farmers with hopes of encouraging those using their land to grow the product to seek healthier alternatives. The tobacco plant can not only take up space for sustainable crops, it can also deplete the soil of important nutrients needed to grow future generations of produce.
