BEIRUT, Lebanon – July 20, 2025 – Rebel Nicotine Pouches, the global pioneer in tobacco-free nicotine innovation, today proudly announces its unrivaled market leadership in Lebanon, solidifying its position as the only nicotine pouch brand to achieve widespread, legal distribution across the nation. Through a landmark partnership with the Régie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs (RLTT) and its exclusive distribution powerhouse, EPI Holding, Rebel has forged a nationwide network, ensuring legitimate access for adult consumers in every region and retail category.
Since its strategic launch in February 2025, Rebel has rapidly expanded its footprint to over 6,000 licensed outlets, spanning Beirut, Mount Lebanon, North and South Lebanon, North Beirut, and the Bekaa. This extensive reach encompasses essential retail channels:
A Beacon of Compliance: Rebel’s Legal Hegemony vs. the Black Market
In a stark contrast to illicit competitors, Rebel stands as the undisputed leader in Lebanon’s legal nicotine pouch market, commanding an estimated 90% market share. While global brands like VELO and ZYN remain conspicuously absent from official channels, circulating solely through unregulated black market routes, Rebel is fully approved and endorsed by RLTT, setting the benchmark for regulatory compliance and consumer trust.
Lesser-known brands such as Fox, Pablo, and Killa may see sporadic, small-volume imports, but their presence remains negligible, inconsistent, and without significant market impact. Only Rebel Nicotine Pouches offer the assurance of full regulation, ubiquitous availability, and the unequivocal backing of Lebanon’s official state tobacco authority.
Unmatched Diversity: A Flavor and Strength Portfolio Designed for Every Adult Palate
Rebel offers one of the world’s most comprehensive and innovative nicotine pouch ranges, empowering adult users with diverse preferences and needs. Our meticulously crafted portfolio features multiple strength levels:
Popular flavors include Ice Mint, Freeze Mint, Spearmint, Zesty Lime, Crisp Citrus, Cherry, Juicy Grape, Wild Fruit, Peach, Blueberry, Mango, and Watermelon.
Each Rebel pouch is tobacco-free, smoke-free, and spit-free, embodying a commitment to modern lifestyles and providing a cleaner, premium-quality nicotine alternative for adult consumers.
Seamless Accessibility: Now Dominating Lebanon’s Premier E-Commerce Landscape

Nicotine has long been tied to cigarettes and addiction, but new research reveals a more complex picture. Studies suggest it may enhance attention, memory, and even offer therapeutic potential for conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. At the same time, developmental risks and strong addictive properties cannot be ignored. Globally, the nicotine pouch market has surged since 2018, with leading brands such as Zyn, Velo, On!, REBEL (by Tobacco International Inc.), and newer entrants like KRATOS reshaping consumer choices. Institutions like GINN are working to set scientific standards and ensure responsible innovation in this fast-growing sector.
Tobacco International Inc., a leading American multinational, today announced a strategic initiative to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its flagship brands, Rebel Nicotine Pouches and the newly launched KRATOS, to drive innovation in the smoke-free nicotine and energy pouch industry. The initiative aims to optimize product development, streamline supply chains, and personalize consumer experiences while maintaining strict compliance with global regulatory standards.
