Nicotine pouches are increasingly popular in the UK as a straightforward, tobacco-free option for smokers looking to satisfy their cravings discreetly and effectively. Here, we provide a detailed guide on the correct usage of nicotine pouches to ensure an optimal experience.
What are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches consist of nicotine, flavorings, sweeteners, and plant-based fibers in powdered form. Originating from the Swedish invention of snus, nicotine pouches offer a discreet and convenient way to fulfill nicotine cravings.
These tobacco-free alternatives are perfect for those seeking a smoke-free nicotine solution. Our extensive collection of 100% Tobacco-Free Nicotine Pouches caters to diverse preferences.
Benefits of Nicotine Pouches
The primary appeal of nicotine pouches lies in their discreet convenience. They do not require inhalation and can be used seamlessly in various environments, such as workplaces, cinemas, or public transport. This means you can avoid stepping outside in unpleasant weather for a nicotine fix. Additionally, the absence of tobacco means nicotine pouches won’t stain your teeth.
Nicotine pouches contain either synthetic nicotine or nicotine derived from the tobacco plant but do not contain actual tobacco.
How to Use Nicotine Pouches
Nicotine pouches are typically packaged in tins containing 20 pouches each. Here’s how to use them effectively:
- Step 1:
Take one pouch and gently roll it between your fingers to soften and loosen the contents.
- Step 2:
Using your forefinger and thumb, place the pouch under your top lip against the gum, slightly to the side of the front teeth. It can also be placed under the bottom lip if more comfortable. Adjust the position with your tongue if needed.
- Step 3:
You will start to feel a tingling sensation as the nicotine begins to release. This sensation may be intense initially but will lessen as you become accustomed to the pouches.
- Step 4:
Keep the pouch between your gum and lip for 5 to 60 minutes, depending on your craving satisfaction. Dispose of the pouch responsibly after use. A used pouch storage compartment is often available in the lid of the tin.
Important: Do not swallow the pouches.
What Does It Feel Like?
The nicotine is absorbed through the mouth lining, providing a gradual, mellow ‘buzz’ that is longer-lasting and less intense than the ‘hit’ from inhaled nicotine. This method helps avoid the rapid ‘crash’ often associated with smoking or vaping.
Nicotine Strength Choices
Nicotine pouches are available in various strengths, typically 6mg, 10mg, or 17mg. Heavier smokers are advised to start with a higher strength, while lighter smokers (less than 20 cigarettes a day) might prefer a lower strength. Adjust the nicotine strength based on your response to the pouches; if you still feel the urge to smoke or feel queasy, modify the strength accordingly. It’s recommended to use no more than one pouch per hour, and a tin should last about 1-2 days.
