Why more people in the UK are turning to smokeless nicotine products

Why more people in the UK are turning to smokeless nicotine products

Something’s changing in how people across the UK are choosing to consume nicotine — and it’s happening fast. Traditional products like cigarettes and even vapes are facing competition from smokeless nicotine pouches. These small, tobacco-free pouches are popping up in shops, gym bags, and even professional football locker rooms. But what’s really behind the rise — and where might things be heading next?

Tobacco-free options are gaining ground

When nicotine pouches first entered the UK market in 2019, they were a bit of a curiosity. Fast-forward a few years, and they’re a familiar feature in high street shops, petrol stations, and online stores. And it’s not just teens and trendsetters — a recent survey found around 1 in 5 professional footballers have used either snus, pouches, or both.

According to research conducted between late 2020 and late 2021, adult usage may still seem low at 0.26%, but that figure doubled in just 12 months — a clear sign of growing interest. Young people are especially tuned in. Among 16 to 19-year-olds, 2.6% say they’ve tried nicotine pouches, and half of those had used them within the past month. 

So, what’s driving the shift? For many, it’s about simplicity. The pouches are small, odourless, and don’t require any smoke or vapour — meaning users can pop one in during a commute, at work, or out socially without stepping outside. Add to that a broad range of flavours and strengths, and it’s easy to see why they’re catching on with people looking for a more low-key nicotine experience.

What rules shape the market today?

Despite their growing popularity, nicotine pouches still exist in something of a grey area when it comes to regulation. Because they don’t contain tobacco, they aren’t covered by the UK’s Tobacco and Related Products Regulations from 2016. Instead, they fall under general product safety laws — a broad framework that wasn’t really built with nicotine in mind.

The result? Inconsistencies. For example, there’s currently no legal minimum age for buying these pouches, unlike for cigarettes or vapes. Marketing and labelling rules are also looser, which has raised concerns about how — and to whom — these products are being promoted.

Recognising the gaps, the UK government proposed the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in 2024. If passed, the bill would tighten rules across the board, introducing stricter controls on the sale and promotion of all nicotine products, including pouches. The aim is to bring marketing standards more in line with those already applied to tobacco, to help prevent youth uptake and ensure more responsible promotion.

Local authorities have also started stepping in. Oxfordshire, for example, has taken action against retailers selling non-compliant pouches, aiming to remove unsafe or incorrectly labelled products from shelves. It’s a sign that enforcement is catching up — but for now, much of the market still operates with minimal oversight.

Looking ahead

The activity around nicotine pouches signals more than just a new product trend — it reflects changing behaviours, shifting norms, and a growing appetite for alternatives that fit modern routines. As interest grows and oversight develops, the focus is likely to move from curiosity to clarity: what role will these products play in everyday life, and how will policy, culture, and consumer habits shape where things go next?
