FDA Updates Modified Risk Tobacco Product Orders for Swedish Match USA
FDA reissues two applications related to Swedish Match's General Snus products, extending public comment period for further review.

According to a news update on the official website of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 3, FDA has reissued two application documents related to the Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) order for Swedish Match USA, Inc.'s General Snus products. These reissued documents contain previously edited content and are now available for viewing on the Swedish Match MRTP application webpage.

 

In addition, the FDA has extended the public comment period for the Swedish Match Company's MRTP update application to allow the public more time to review the recently reissued application materials. The public can submit comments on the application on the regulations.gov webpage with the docket number FDA-2014-N-1051. The FDA will announce the deadline for the comment period after it is determined.

 

These application materials have been edited in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and can be found on the FDA's website. Before making a final decision on the MRTP application, the FDA will consider all available information, including public comments and recommendations from the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC).

The High Court previously ruled that the exemption decision was irrational. Dzulkefly said withdrawing the appeal did not mean the government would stop regulating vaping, and that future regulatory approaches would continue under existing legal frameworks.

GSTHR Estimates 200 Million People Use Non-Combustible Nicotine Products as 28 Countries Show Rising Use Alongside Falling Smoking Rates
The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction, a project operated by Knowledge·Action·Change, estimates that about 200 million people worldwide use non-combustible nicotine products including vapes, heated tobacco, nicotine pouches and snus. Its 2026 report says use of these products rose alongside declining smoking rates in 28 countries it analyzed. The data do not establish that all 200 million users have quit smoking, nor do they prove a direct causal relationship. GSTHR also says regulatory restrictions on the products continue to expand in many markets.

China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei explores staged nicotine pouch delivery, using dynamic membranes to slow early release and gradient particles to sustain later delivery
China Tobacco Hubei Industrial Co., Ltd. disclosed several oral nicotine-related patent applications in August 2026, including two that approach staged nicotine release from different directions. One uses a high-viscosity membrane that forms inside the pouch after contact with saliva to slow rapid early release, while the other uses gradient particles with a faster-disintegrating outer layer and a slower core to create a fast-to-sustained release profile. Together, the filings explore how nicotine pouches could balance initial delivery with release later in use.
