In recent years, with the tightening of global tobacco control policies and the improvement of consumer health awareness, the market for nicotine replacement products has seen explosive growth. Among them, nicotine pouches have become an important alternative for traditional tobacco consumers due to their smoke-free, tar-free and convenient use. However, the rapid development of this emerging field has also led to problems such as lack of industry standards, unclear supervision and insufficient public awareness. In this context, who will manage the future of nicotine pouches? The answer may lie in innovative companies represented by the VEEHOO e-cigarette brand – they are redefining industry rules with technology as the driving force and responsibility as the criterion.
The core controversy of nicotine pouches lies in the safety of their ingredients and their long-term health effects. VEEHOO uses its self-developed “pure formula technology” to accurately control the nicotine content within the EU TPD standard (<4%), and uses plant fiber bases to replace traditional synthetic materials, greatly reducing the risk of oral irritation. Its products not only passed third-party toxicology testing, but also introduced “slow-release technology” to reduce the nicotine release rate by 30% and reduce addiction. This user health-oriented R&D logic has set a technical benchmark for the industry. The head of the VEEHOO laboratory once publicly stated: “The goal of each of our technology iterations is to bring the product one step closer to ‘zero health controversy’.”
The environmental impact of nicotine bags is often overlooked – problems such as non-degradable packaging materials and pollution of discarded bags need to be solved urgently. VEEHOO took the lead in launching the “Carbon Neutrality Plan”. Its product packaging uses compostable corn starch materials and promises to achieve carbon footprint tracking across the entire industry chain by 2025. What is more noteworthy is that the brand has jointly carried out youth anti-misuse education with the Swedish Addiction Research Institute, and integrated social responsibility into business logic through the AI age verification system and offline public welfare lectures. As its CEO said at the industry summit: “The value of a company should not be measured only by market share, but by how many solutions it has contributed to the sustainable development of the industry.”
Traditional nicotine products often ignore the refined design of user experience. VEEHOO has developed a series of “intelligent sensing” products through the analysis of millions of user data: mint flavor bags are added with temperature-sensing coatings, and the cool feeling is dynamically adjusted when entering the mouth; caffeine compound products meet consumers’ dual needs for “refreshing + addiction relief”. More groundbreaking is that its APP-connected smart box can record the frequency of use and generate health reports. This attempt to visualize “addiction management” has made nicotine consumption from blind to rational.
The future of nicotine bags cannot be driven by companies alone. VEEHOO is actively building a collaborative platform for “industry, academia, research and management”: cooperating with the University of Geneva to carry out harm reduction research, disclosing the formula database to regulators, and participating in the drafting of the white paper on China’s nicotine bag industry. This open attitude breaks the closed nature of the industry and provides a scientific basis for policy making. An international public health expert commented: “When companies take the initiative to include themselves in the regulatory framework, the industry can truly move towards standardization.”
The future management rights of nicotine bags are neither in the hands of a leading company nor should they rely entirely on government control. Instead, they need to be exercised by a “responsibility community” composed of technology innovators, regulators, scientific research institutions and consumers. VEEHOO’s practice shows that when companies embed social responsibility into their business models and replace barbaric growth with transparent operations, a healthier and more sustainable emerging industry ecology can truly take shape. This may be the right path for nicotine replacement products to become mainstream.
