FREESMO Rallies to Support Ex-Smokers Ahead of the Disposable Vape Ban with Golden Ticket Campaign
BRISTOL, England, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the UK prepares for the nationwide ban on disposable vapes coming into force on 1st June 2025, FREESMO is stepping up to support ex-smokers with the launch of a Golden Ticket campaign designed to keep people smoke-free.
Built by people who care, trusted by people ready to change, FREESMO has built its reputation on one simple mission: helping smokers ditch cigarettes for life. Now, with the disposable vape ban fast approaching, FREESMO is taking action to ensure that former smokers don't return to cigarettes out of confusion or convenience.
Running until 1st June, the Golden Ticket campaign is all about celebrating and supporting the smoke-free movement. All first-time buyers spending £10 or more at FREESMO.co.uk will be entered into a weekly prize draw to win one of twenty Golden Tickets. Each Golden Ticket awards its recipient with a £100 Amazon voucher.
The campaign will run in the lead-up to the disposable ban with prize opportunities updated regularly throughout to include unbeatable discounts and unrivalled multibuy deals. While the prize pool is generous, the message behind the campaign is even more significant: FREESMO is here to support your smoke-free journey, even as the vape landscape shifts.
'The disposable ban will leave many people scrambling for alternatives, and we refuse to let that confusion push anyone back to smoking,' says Georgi Keckarovski. 'That's why we're launching this campaign — to guide people through the transition, and make sure no one is left behind.'
The upcoming ban — aimed at reducing youth vaping and protecting the environment — will make it illegal to sell or supply disposable vapes in the UK, both online and in shops. While the environmental and public health goals are clear, thousands of adult ex-smokers who rely on disposables to stay smoke-free could be left at risk of relapse.
FREESMO's expert team of smoke-free product specialists is ready to help. Through its Smoke-Free Questionnaire, FREESMO offers free, personalised product recommendations tailored to each user's needs — drawing on a wide range of smoke-free alternatives from top brands.
'We're not here to push one product — we're here to find the most effective option to help each individual stop smoking,' says Georgi. 'For many, disposables were just the start of their smoke-free journey. Now, it's time to take the next step. From nicotine pouches to nicotine-free vapes, FREESMO can support all disposable users in staying smoke free.'
Visit FREESMO for further help and support in transitioning to a smoke-free lifestyle.

Colombia to Compete at Cannes Lions 2025 with Two Campaigns Led by ProColombia
For the first time, the entity will represent the country in the official competition of the world's most prestigious creative festival, with campaigns that highlight emerging destinations and position biodiversity as Colombia's natural ambassador BOGOTÁ, Colombia, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Colombia will make its official debut in the competition at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, taking place from 16 to 20 June in France. With the support of ProColombia, the country will participate with two campaigns developed under its nation brand narrative: "Colombia, the country of beauty." "For the first time, ProColombia is taking part in this event with two campaigns across multiple categories in pursuit of a Cannes Lion. We want the world to recognise Colombia as not only a beautiful country, but one that transforms its natural, cultural and human wealth into creative ideas that connect globally. Being at Cannes Lions with these campaigns is an opportunity to showcase the best of who we are – with innovation and authenticity," said Carmen Caballero, President of ProColombia. In this edition of the festival, which gathers the most influential brands and creatives each year with over 30,000 entries, Colombia will compete with two campaigns created in alignment with its nation brand story: "Clues of Hidden Beauty" and "Humanimal Migration." Both campaigns are entered in over 47 categories, including Outdoor, Media, Brand Experience, Creative Strategy, and Creative Commerce, among others. The first campaign, "Clues of Hidden Beauty," highlights the opening and expansion of air routes that have improved access to unique tourist destinations across the country. Thanks to this enhanced connectivity, places such as Tolú on Colombia's Caribbean coast and Bahía Solano in the Pacific region of Chocó have gained recognition as tourism gems offering authentic experiences, lush natural settings, and local communities that promote more responsible travel. The campaign has gained visibility in key markets such as the United States, France, Germany, Argentina and the United Kingdom, attracting travellers with an interest in sustainability and authenticity. The second campaign, "Humanimal Migration," was launched in late 2024 at The Sphere in Las Vegas and is inspired by an extraordinary fact: Colombia hosts over 1,200 migratory species each year, including birds, whales and turtles. Using real-time data and tracking technologies, the campaign turned these species into ambassadors of the country's beauty, sending over 600 personalised messages in five languages to potential travellers in more than 20 countries – all delivered in the "voices" of the animals themselves. The response was striking: 66,175 new international visitors, a 64% increase compared to the previous year, with an estimated economic impact of $89.6 million. Both campaigns have achieved significant international reach, with over 380 million media impressions and an estimated earned media value of $42 million. They have contributed to positioning Colombia as an innovative, sustainable, and inspiring destination. Photo:

Black Sesame Technologies Debuts at 2025 Hong Kong Auto Expo, Driving the Evolution of Next-Generation Vehicles with Advanced Chips
HONG KONG, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Black Sesame Technologies, a leading automotive-grade computing SoC and SoC-based intelligent vehicle solution provider, showcased its Huashan and Wudang series chips, along with domain controllers, at the Automotive Technology and Supply Chain Exhibition Area (Booth No. H03) of the 2025 International Automobile and Supply Chain Expo (Hong Kong) (hereinafter referred to as the 'Auto Expo'). The company's founder and CEO, Johnson Shan, attended the opening ceremony, joining industry representatives in witnessing the grand launch of the event. Held on June 12, the Auto Expo was inaugurated by John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, who delivered an address at the opening ceremony. Co-hosted by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the Hong Kong Chinese Enterprises Association, the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong, the China General Association for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and Phoenix Television, the Auto Expo capitalizes on Hong Kong's unique position as a 'super connector' between mainland China and global markets, serving as a key platform for industry collaboration and exchange. The expo brought together eleven major automakers, including FAW, Dongfeng, Chang'an, SAIC, GAC, BAIC, Chery, Geely, BYD, XPeng, and Leapmotor, as well as dozens of automotive supply chain and technology companies. Highlighting the theme of this year's Auto Expo, 'New Automobiles,' Black Sesame Technologies offered key insights into how intelligent computing is driving the industry's transformation. As a key partner to many leading automakers and Tier 1 suppliers, Black Sesame Technologies is enabling the shift toward smarter vehicles with its Huashan series of autonomous driving computing chips and Wudang series of cross-domain computing chips. Known for their performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency, these solutions play a critical role in accelerating the intelligent transformation of next-generation vehicles and fostering the growth of a new automotive ecosystem. At the 2025 Auto Expo, Black Sesame Technologies unveiled its Huashan A2000 chip—an advanced, high-performance solution built to support next-generation AI models. Equipped with the industry's largest NPU core, 'Jiushao,' and paired with the next-generation universal AI toolchain, BaRT, the A2000 delivers both exceptional computing power and flexible scalability. The A2000 chip is not only suited for advanced driver-assistance scenarios but also meets the high-performance inference demands of industrial and consumer applications. Currently, the Huashan A1000 family of chips has been adopted by several leading Chinese automakers and has entered mass production, powering models such as the Geely Galaxy E8 and Xingyao 8, Lynk & Co 07 and 08 EM-P, and Dongfeng Yipai eπ007 and eπ008. The Wudang C1200 family is purpose-built for multi-domain integration and cabin-driving convergence scenarios. Among them, the C1236 is the industry's first single-chip platform to support high-speed assisted driving, while the C1296 is the first to enable multi-domain integration. Since the launch of the C1200 series, Black Sesame Technologies has made steady progress in its commercialization, securing partnerships with major domestic and international companies, including FAW, Dongfeng, Aptiv, Joyson, and Banma. In addition to its chips, Black Sesame Technologies also showcased a series of domain controllers jointly developed with top Chinese and international Tier 1 suppliers, based on the Huashan A1000 and Wudang C1200 series, demonstrating the company's deep integration with the broader intelligent automotive supply chain. This exhibition not only served as a focused showcase of Black Sesame Technologies' innovative products and collaborative achievements but also highlighted Hong Kong's role as a key strategic hub for the company. By the end of 2023, the firm formed a partnership with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation to co-establish a new R&D and innovation center in the region. In August 2024, the company successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, entering a new phase of rapid growth. Black Sesame Technologies is accelerating the broad deployment of the Huashan and Wudang product lines across multiple markets and application scenarios to strengthen its core IP portfolio, while deepening supply chain collaboration and advancing its global expansion. Meanwhile, the company's business vision extends beyond automobiles, actively expanding into robotics and embodied intelligence. 'Hong Kong's strategic location and unique resources provide vital support for supply chain deployment and serve as a key gateway in our global strategy,' said Johnson Shan, Founder and CEO of Black Sesame Technologies. 'We aim to be a value creator in the industry by empowering our ecosystem partners through cutting-edge technology. Building on Hong Kong's platform and resources, we will continue to deepen collaboration with global automakers and Tier 1 suppliers, driving the prosperous development of the intelligent vehicle industry through a win-win ecosystem.'
