2Firsts, October 29, 2025 — Citing Convenience Store, Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) UK announced two beverage-inspired additions to its XQS nicotine pouch line: Cola Lime and Fizzy Peach. Both variants come in an 8mg strength and are available exclusively through the Vape Supplier website, priced at a recommended £5.50 per can (approximately $7.35).
STG says the new flavours align with consumers’ growing appetite for drink-inspired profiles. Fizzy Peach layers a peach note with a “sparkling” sensation, while Cola Lime combines two popular tastes in a single can.
The company added that while supermarkets still account for most nicotine-pouch sales, the convenience channel is currently expanding the fastest. Since this summer’s ban on disposable vapes, overall pouch sales have been further buoyed as former vape users enter the category seeking more impactful flavours.
Prianka Jhingan, STG UK’s Head of Marketing, said the launches reflect XQS’s core proposition of delivering familiar yet fresh flavour combinations with strong, long-lasting taste, and are expected to resonate with users.
