About nicotine pouches

Nicotine pouches are small paper-like pouches, usually made from natural cellulose fibres, that contain nicotine, water and food-grade flavourings. When placed between the lip and gum and mixed with saliva, nic pouches slowly release nicotine, which is then absorbed by the body to satisfy cravings.

Available in a choice of flavours and strength options, nicotine pouches are usually found in small tins of 10 - 40 pouches per pack.

With their smoke, odour and tobacco-less design, nicotine pouches offer a perfect solution for adults (18+) who want a discreet and convenient way to satisfy cravings as they can be used anywhere at any time - even in places where smoking or vaping isn’t allowed. Whether you're a busy professional, a frequent traveller, or simply prefer a smoke-free, odour-free alternative to traditional tobacco or vaping products, nicotine pouches are a fully flexible option that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

How to use nicotine pouches

  1. Remove a pouch from the container
  2. Place the pouch between your lip and gum
  3. Nicotine will release slowly
  4. Keep the pouch in your mouth for up to 30 minutes
  5. If the pouch feels uncomfortable, try repositioning it

Choosing the right nicotine pouch strength

When choosing nicotine pouches, you want to ensure you get the same satisfaction and craving relief as you get from your regular smoking or vaping.

However, the hit from nicotine pouches can be stronger than that from e-liquids and cigarettes. If you are new to nic pouches it’s best to start at a lower strength and increase if/when needed.

For vapers: If you use higher-strength e-liquids (e.g. 18mg/ml or 20mg/ml), initially choose higher-strength nicotine pouches such as 11mg - 20mg options. If you use a lower-strength e-liquid (e.g. 5mg), choose a lower-strength nicotine pouch such as 3mg.

For smokers: Base your strength on how heavily you smoke. If you’re a lighter smoker, opt for lower-strength pouches (e.g 3mg - 10mg). If you’re a heavier smoker, opt for a higher strength (e.g 11mg - 20mg)

Once you have tried nicotine pouches you can adjust the strength as needed.

How do nicotine pouches work?

When placed in the mouth, nicotine pouches work by mixing with saliva to release nicotine and flavour. The nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the mouth, delivering a quick and discreet nicotine experience without the need for smoking or vaping.
