Center for Rapid Surveillance of Tobacco (CRST) will perform surveillance of tobacco product marketing, the tobacco product marketplace, and tobacco use behaviors, transforming tobacco surveillance to be rapid, comprehensive, and coordinated, with salient findings fed immediately into traditional data collection systems. By identifying and evaluating signals in a timely fashion, the CRST will generate critical actionable information about changes in tobacco products which can inform FDA’s regulation of tobacco products leading to a substantial public health impact.

Off-Stamp announced a new pod-based device, the X-Cube Pro, that has a larger screen with a customizable display and an associated smart phone app. We have not identified any evidence that Off-Stamp has submitted a PMTA application for the product.
MODERN ORAL NICOTINE PRODUCTS
Hyppe nicotine pouches recently added Blue Razz and Chewy Strawberry flavors to their lineup; Grape Rush and Spearmint were covered in a previous alert. The brand last announced that it received FDA PMTA acceptance notifications for nicotine pouch products under the former brand name, 2ONE pouches, in 2024. This does not mean that Hyppe has received marketing authorization, but rather that the PMTA has now moved to the scientific review phase.
