What are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine Pouches are commonly known as Snus. These contain tobacco free nicotine to provide a smokeless alternative to cigarettes. Originating from Sweden, this product has led the way in smoking cessation in the Nordics and has started to grow in popularity in the UK.
Unlike smoking and vaping, there is no combustion or heating element. Just insert a pouch between your top lip and gum. The nicotine is then released into your body through the lining of your mouth.
Why is Snus so popular?
Although Snus has been around for as long as vaping, it has only been in recent years where it has grown in popularity. A major driver of this has been athletes becoming more public about their use of tobacco free nicotine pouches.
Benefits of nicotine pouches
Less Harmful
Like vaping, tobacco free nicotine pouches are much less harmful than smoking. This is because it removes the combustion stage, avoiding the toxins released by burning tobacco.
No smoke or vapour
Snus is discreet and produces no cloud, making it an ideal alternative to use in areas where smoking or vaping aren’t allowed.
Menthol and fruit flavours
When quitting smoking, flavours are crucial. The taste of tobacco can become unbearable once you’re no longer using cigarettes. Nicotine pouches are available in popular flavours.
How to use Nicotine Pouches?
Twist and remove the top of the box to access the pouches inside.
Insert a pouch between your top lip and gum.
You will start to feel a tingling sensation which should last up to 30 minutes.
Once you’re done, remove the snus and either dispose of it directly into a bin or use the small tray at the top of the can.
