Nicotine Pouches Could Be a Powerful Alternative to E-cigarettes in the Future

Nicotine pouches, also known as nicotine gum, are cigarette replacements that help people quit smoking. These tea bag-like pouches, placed under the upper lip for about 15 to 30 minutes, deliver optimal doses of nicotine and offer smoke-free, odor-free and no spitting. The products are more effective than e-cigarettes, with data from European countries showing that nicotine pouches have a 60-75 percent success rate in getting people to quit smoking.

Nicotine replacement therapy uses low-dose medicinal nicotine to replace the nicotine in tobacco, and is effective in helping smokers wean themselves off cigarettes and reduce withdrawal symptoms in a gradual reduction. Slowly, smoking addiction gradually reduced until disappeared, so that smokers easily achieve the goal of removing addiction. Among the smoking cessation AIDS recommended by the World Health Organization, nicotine replacement therapy products (such as nicotine gum, nicotine patch, etc.) are recommended as first-line drugs.

Nicotine pouches usually contain food-grade fillers, water, salt, flavor and nicotine. Each packaged brand has different nicotine content.  Nicotine pouches have not only mint and coffee flavors, but also various fruit flavors such as black cherry and citrus. Among them, mint-flavored products have become the most popular type because of their fresh smell and the ability of making people happy. In 2020, minty nicotine pouches accounted for 36.36% of the industry market share;  Fruit-flavored products ranked second with 33.15%; The coffee-flavored products occupy only 9.23% of the market share due to their bitter taste. 

Currently, the sales method of nicotine pouches is mainly through offline. In 2015, offline sales accounted for 89.36% of the market, while online sales were only 10.64%. However, with the continuous popularity of online shopping in recent years, the proportion of online sales in the market is constantly increasing, and by 2020, it has increased to 17.05%.  However, due to regulations on specific products, online sales of nicotine bags are expected to decline slightly in the next 2-3 years.

Nicotine Pouches Are Smoke-free Products and Will Be a Powerful Alternative to E-cigarettes in the Future 

For years, flammable cigarettes have been smokers\' choice. Traditional smoking causes second-hand smoke, limited use and yellow teeth.  Second-hand smoke harms the health of family and friends, occasionally causes family conflicts, and has an impact on society; Yellowing teeth can affect a smoker\'s appearance and lead to an aversion to the cleaning process. Above all, smoking will do great harm to one\'s health. People are aware of the disadvantages of smoking, but it is not easy to give up smoking, so they hope that products that can allow smokers to enjoy nicotine without side effects will be released. The nicotine pouch happens to be a smokeless form of nicotine that can be used anywhere without staining teeth, and the same amount of nicotine can reduce the damage, rather than absorbing material through the lungs like regular cigarettes or vapers. 

Major players in nicotine bags see them as a powerful alternative to e-cigarettes, and their huge investment has become a powerful driver of the nicotine pouch market. The nicotine pouch market was the fastest-growing segment of the tobacco market last year, even as regulatory changes and lung disease outbreaks plagued the e-cigarette market. Many companies have recognized the situation and sought to expand the production and business of nicotine pouches. For example, in 2019, Altria acquired Burger Sohne Holding Ag, taking over its global operations, which effectively gave them an 80% profit in the nicotine pouch business. In 2019, British American Tobacco reportedly spent $24.9 million building a plant in Hungary to expand nicotine pouch production. These companies are investing not only in production but also in marketing. If appropriate marketing strategies are adopted to attract consumers\' attention, the nicotine pouch market is expected to increase significantly. 

However, nicotine pouches, like e-cigarettes, do not have a uniform regulatory regime, meaning smokeless products will be banned in some markets. As the public increasingly uses nicotine pouches instead of cigarettes, the government may regulate the nicotine pouch market as it does to tobacco. So far, for example, the FDA has banned the sale of tobacco products to people under 21, and nicotine pouches will most likely face the same regulation.
