What’s The Difference Between Nicotine Pouches and Snus?

Snus is a traditional oral tobacco product, that was first produced in Sweden in the 1700s. It’s sometimes referred to as Swedish snus. One of the oldest companies that still makes snus was started in 1822.

Swedish snus is a type of tobacco that’s ground up and then packaged in a small pouch. The pouch is usually called a portion. To make snus, they mix the tobacco with water and another ingredient called sodium carbonate. Sometimes they add flavours like mint or menthol.

Why is Snus Illegal in the UK?

In 1992, the European Union banned the sale of all oral tobacco products. However, personal possession is allowed.

Following Brexit, the UK decided to keep the law to ban the sale and marketing of snus.

Nicotine pouches are a smoke, vapour, and tobacco free alternative designed to deliver nicotine through your gums. The product came to market in the early 2000s, as a tobacco free substitute to snus.

Nicotine pouches are small packets that contain nicotine extract, and plant based fibres. You can get them in many different flavours like menthol, fruit, and candy options.

The best part about pouches is that you can use them anywhere without disturbing others. Just put the small pouch between your lips and gums, and it releases nicotine for up to an hour. After that, you can discard it in general waste.

Nicotine pouches are a great alternative for those who want to quit smoking or just want to enjoy the benefits of nicotine in a non smoking/vaping environment .

It’s a misconception that nicotine is the most harmful part of smoking. It’s a stimulant, which means that it’s no more dangerous than caffeine. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a medication that delivers a small amount of nicotine to you while avoiding the harmful effects of tobacco. This includes tar, carbon monoxide, and other toxic substances found in cigarettes. Forms of NRT include patches, gum, inhalers, lozenges, sprays and e-cigs.
