A, e-Cigarette unit sales (number of sales by Universal Product Code). B, Market share for e-cigarette sales (calculated by dividing each manufacturer’s unit sales by total unit sales). Data were aggregated by manufacturer, and sales for the 5 top-selling manufacturers and all others combined (based on 2017 unit sales) are presented. The 5 top-selling manufacturers and the corresponding e-cigarette brands sold by those manufacturers (based on 2017 brand ownership) were Altria (MarkTen, Green Smoke); British American Tobacco (Vuse); Imperial Tobacco (blu); Japan Tobacco (Logic); JUUL Laboratories (JUUL); and other (all other brands combined). For consistency in the figure, unit sales and market share are reported according to the owner of the reported brands as of 2017. Before 2014, blu was owned by Lorillard Tobacco Company; before 2017, JUUL was owned by Pax Laboratories.
