Preferred Source Types
- Official government, regulator, customs, court, and public-health notices.
- Company announcements, filings, and investor materials when they affect market structure.
- Recognized trade publications and credible local outlets covering vape regulation, enforcement, products, and retail policy.
- Policy databases, public consultations, and cross-border regulatory trackers.
Selection Criteria
Stories are scored by relevance to vaping, source authority, geographic priority, market impact, regulatory consequence, freshness, and duplication risk. Low-value local crime stories, thin syndication, and stories unrelated to vaping are filtered out unless they signal broader policy or enforcement movement.
Priority Markets
Dawsen gives close attention to the United States, United Kingdom, Middle East, Indonesia, Korea, Germany, Japan, Canada, China, and other markets where policy changes may affect manufacturing, retail, imports, or consumer access.
Deduplication
Dawsen avoids publishing substantially similar stories by comparing source URLs, canonical links, title similarity, story entities, country tags, topic tags, and recent publication history.
