VARES participants discussed key actions for 2025 and next steps for the development of the electronic cigarette market.

If you describe 2025 in one word - "fruitful".

- attended specialized conferences (detinization of business, economic trends);
- increased interaction thanks to membership in the National Platform of Small and Medium Businesses;
- worked on creating a tool for market transparency: Black Store Map, which will help display the maximum number of "black" and "white" retailers in one place.

The plans for 2026 are to maintain the same dynamics and move on to the implementation of important strategic goals, which we will talk about briefly for now, because all the details will come soon.

- memorandum on cooperation with European associations;
- more systematic public communication of VARES;
- full launch of Black Store Map;
- movement in legislative changes regarding nicobuster.

We are open to questions and new participants. If you need information about admission, leave a request on the website.
