2Firsts, November 18, 2025 —2Firsts has observed that a new pouchless oral nicotine product, NAKD nicotine pods—featuring an appearance reminiscent of a “garlic clove”—has recently been introduced in overseas markets. Multiple snus and nicotine pouch reviewers have posted hands-on impressions on social media, drawing industry attention to its design logic and market positioning.

Pouchless Structure + Compostable Materials

 

 

According to information published on the NAKD nicotine pods official website and e-commerce listings, the product’s key innovation lies in its pouchless construction. Unlike traditional nicotine pouches that use a fiber outer pouch, NAKD compresses the nicotine carrier directly into a solid pellet that does not melt during oral use.

 

Images displayed on the official site show the pellets have a crescent-shaped form, tapering slightly at both ends, fuller in the middle, with a smooth, ivory-white surface.

Official descriptions state that these pouchless nicotine carriers are made of compostable materials capable of naturally breaking down within a few days. The absence of a pouch layer allows users to experience nicotine release more rapidly. If discarded outdoors, the material can also biodegrade on its own.

Special Report|AIR H1 Revenue Rises 3.7% as Shisha Volumes Fall 9%, Testing Its Shift Beyond Traditional Hookah
AIR’s first half-year results as a listed company offer a new test of how far a traditional hookah business can transform. H1 2026 revenue rose 3.7%, even as Flavored Shisha Molasses shipments fell 9%, with pricing and mix supporting growth. Traditional shisha still generates almost all revenue, while OOKA, Crown Switch, Greentank and U.S. regulatory spending point to accelerating diversification. The next test is whether those investments can become a second business of meaningful scale and profitability.

BAT Regional Director Fred Monteiro Supports Spain’s Nicotine Rules but Opposes 0.99mg Nicotine Pouch Limit
Spanish newspaper El Confidencial interviewed Fred Monteiro, Regional Director for Americas and Europe at British American Tobacco (BAT). Monteiro said BAT supports setting regulatory limits for nicotine products but opposes Spain’s proposed 0.99mg nicotine-per-pouch limit, arguing that such a restriction could affect adult smokers’ transition to alternatives. He said nicotine regulation should be based on scientific evidence and harm reduction principles. Monteiro also said smoke-free products now account for around 25% of BAT’s Americas and Europe business and nearly 30% of its Europe business
