Nicotine Pouch Brands Surge into Sporting Spotlight at Major Events 

SILVERSTONE, UK – The world of sports sponsorship is undergoing a noticeable shift, with alternative nicotine brands rapidly gaining visibility on the global stage. At this year’s MotoGP event at Silverstone, the rise of nicotine pouch companies as major sporting sponsors was impossible to ignore. Among the high-octane action, brands like DENSSI, ZYN, and KLINT were prominently featured alongside long-established names such as Tissot and Red Bull. 

Attending the event as a guest of DENSSI nicotine pouches, I witnessed firsthand the strong presence of the DENSSI Racing Team from NOW Motorsport. With their branding proudly displayed in the paddock and on the track, DENSSI made it clear that it’s not just here for the ride — it’s here to lead. 

Speaking with representatives from DENSSI, it became evident that this is just the beginning. The brand hinted at upcoming sponsorship deals in the U.S. NASCAR series and with a major UK football club. These strategic partnerships aim to put nicotine pouch brands in front of millions of passionate fans around the world. 

With increased regulation around traditional tobacco advertising, nicotine pouches — a smoke-free, spit-free alternative — are becoming the new face of the industry. Their growing popularity, especially among adult consumers seeking harm-reduction alternatives, is fuelling a wave of investment into sports marketing. 

The presence of multiple pouch brands at one of the UK’s premier racing events marks a pivotal moment for the sector. As companies like DENSSI, ZYN, and KLINT align themselves with major global sports, it’s clear that the alternative nicotine industry is not only growing — it’s racing toward mainstream recognition. 

Over the next few years, expect these brands to become household names in stadiums, circuits, and arenas around the world.
