Beginner’s Guide to Nicotine Pouches

1. What Are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches are small, discreet, tobacco-free products designed to deliver nicotine through absorption in the mouth. They are placed under the upper lip and provide a smoke-free, spit-free alternative to smoking or vaping. Perfect for use anywhere — at work, while travelling, or during social events — without the mess or smell of traditional nicotine products.

2. What’s Inside a Nicotine Pouch?

Each pouch typically contains:
- Pharmaceutical-grade nicotine
- Plant-based fibres
- Flavourings (e.g. mint, citrus, berry, coffee)
- Sweeteners (optional)

They do not contain tobacco leaf or dust, making them a cleaner choice for nicotine users.

3. How to Use a Nicotine Pouch

Using a nicotine pouch is super easy:
1. Take one pouch from the can.
2. Place it under your upper lip.
3. Leave it there for 15 to 45 minutes.
4. Discard the used pouch in the trash (never swallow it).

You may feel a tingling sensation — this is completely normal and part of the nicotine release process.

4. Choosing the Right Strength

Nicotine pouches come in various strengths, typically ranging from 2mg to 20mg per pouch.

- Beginners: Start with a lower strength (e.g. 4mg–6mg)
- Experienced users: You may prefer stronger options (e.g. 12mg+)

It’s always best to start light and see how your body reacts before going stronger.

5. Picking Your Flavour

From icy mint to tropical fruits and even coffee blends — there’s a pouch for every taste. If you’re new, mint is a safe and refreshing choice to begin with.

6. When & Where to Use

One of the best things about nicotine pouches is their versatility. Use them:
- On the go
- At work
- In public places
- During travel
- While socialising

They're discreet and won’t interrupt your day like smoking or vaping might.

7. Storing Your Pouches

Keep pouches in a cool, dry place — ideally in their original can. Reseal after every use to maintain freshness and flavour.

8. Are Nicotine Pouches Safe?

Nicotine pouches are a less harmful alternative to smoking since they contain no tobacco and don’t produce smoke. However, they still contain nicotine, which is addictive. Not recommended for non-nicotine users, pregnant individuals, or those with heart conditions.

If unsure, consult a healthcare professional before use.

9. Final Tips for Beginners

- Always follow usage instructions
- Don’t use more than one pouch at a time
- Listen to your body — if it feels too strong, remove the pouch
- Store out of reach of children or pets

Start smart, stay informed, and enjoy a smoother nicotine experience with confidence.
