This podcast episode explores the transformative landscape of the nicotine industry, marked by a shift from "cokes, smokes, and gas" to a broader "nicotine category." The rise of smokeless products, particularly modern oral nicotine, and the growing acceptance of alternatives to traditional cigarettes drive this evolution. Innovation in product development, coupled with the open-mindedness of consumers towards trying new options, presents growth opportunities for retailers who adapt to the changing needs of their customers.
