Nicotine Strengths

Choosing the right nicotine pouch strength can feel tricky at first - especially if you’re switching from smoking or looking to manage your nicotine intake. The best starting point is to think about how many cigarettes you currently smoke per day or your overall nicotine tolerance. Our guide below will help you choose a pouch strength that’s right for you.

What Are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches are small, teabag-like sachets filled with nicotine, flavourings, and sweeteners, designed for a discreet, tobacco-free experience. Placed between the upper lip and gum, they offer a clean and convenient way to enjoy nicotine anytime, anywhere. Available in a wide range of flavours like mint, fruit, and coffee, and in multiple nicotine strengths, these pouches are perfect for users seeking a convenient and modern alternative to traditional tobacco products.

How Do You Use Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches couldn’t be easier to use. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Open the tub and take out a pouch
  2. Place it between your upper lip and gum – no chewing or spitting needed. Enjoy up to 60 minutes of smooth, satisfying flavour
  3. When you’re done, remove the pouch and either pop it into the handy waste compartment under the lid or dispose of it in a bin
  4. Each tub contains around 20 slim, comfortable pouches designed for discreet use anytime, anywhere.

Nicotine Pouches vs Snus

Nicotine Pouches

Nicotine pouches offer a modern, tobacco-free way to consume nicotine, making them discreet, spit-free, and suitable for use almost anywhere. They come in a wide variety of flavours and nicotine strengths, with some delivering a quick, intense hit. Their portability and lack of odour appeal to both casual and regular users, including athletes and gamers. However, the fast nicotine delivery can increase the risk of dependence, and while they avoid the harms linked to tobacco leaf, research into their long-term health effects is still limited.

Snus

Snus, on the other hand, is a traditional Scandinavian smokeless tobacco that delivers a slower, steadier nicotine release. Its earthy taste and tobacco base appeal to long-time users, and it’s considered less harmful than smoking, though it still contains harmful compounds from the tobacco. The biggest drawbacks are its darker appearance, more limited flavours, and the fact it’s banned in the UK and most of the EU (except Sweden), making it inaccessible to most European consumers.

Nicotine pouches are a tobacco-free, smoke-free alternative that are healthier than smoking, as they don’t produce tar, carbon monoxide, or the thousands of harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. They are considered a lower-risk option for adult nicotine users, but still contain nicotine, an addictive substance so they’re not completely risk-free.

Most users enjoy 3 - 6 nicotine pouches daily, but the right amount depends on your nicotine tolerance and pouch strength. Beginners should start with lower-strength pouches and fewer portions, then adjust as needed. Always follow the product’s usage guidelines and avoid excessive use to reduce nicotine-related risks.

Most nicotine pouches provide a steady nicotine release for around 20–60 minutes. Duration varies by brand, strength, and how long you choose to keep it in. Once the flavour fades, the pouch should be discarded.
