A Deep Dive into the Future of Novel Nicotine
We wish to share the latest episode of the Tobacco Asia / InterTabac podcast, where GINN’s Director Shem Baldeosingh joins Thomas Schmid for a wide-ranging conversation on the evolution of safer nicotine products and the global landscape. In this episode, Shem reflects on GINN’s journey since our launch in 2024 and how we’ve grown into a structured, globally engaged network driving evidence‑based dialogue. The discussion explores:
The rise of non‑combustible, non‑vaping formats — including oral nicotine pouches
Regulatory challenges and opportunities across markets like Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Asia
The importance of standards, consumer protection, and credible engagement with authorities
Why innovation, comparative risk, and real‑world behaviour must guide policy decisions
The conversation captures exactly what GINN stands for: clarity, credibility, and responsible innovation across the emerging nicotine ecosystem.
