What are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine Pouches, commonly known as Snus, offer a tobacco free nicotine and flavour experience. The easy to use alternative originated in Sweden and has led the way in smoking cessation across the UK.
Unlike smoking and vaping, there is no combustion or heating element, for a smokeless experience. Just insert a pouch between your top lip and gum. The nicotine will then release into your body through the lining of your mouth. Each pouch offers a long term fix of up to 30 minutes before needing to be discarded responsibly.
Why is Snus so popular?
Although Snus has been around for as long as vaping, it has only been in recent years that it has grown in popularity. A major driver of this has been athletes becoming more public about their use of tobacco-free nicotine pouches. The product has also become a quit tool for former smokers and vapers looking to move on from the habit.
Benefits of nicotine pouches
Less Harmful
Like vaping, tobacco-free nicotine pouches are much less harmful than smoking. This is because they don’t contain the chemicals found in tobacco and aren’t inhaled into the lungs.
No smoke or vapour
Snus offers a discreet smoke and vapour free nicotine hit. It is an ideal alternative that can be used in environments where smoking or vaping aren’t allowed. Such as on public transport or in an office.
Tobacco FREE Nicotine Experience
At TECC, we stock a range of nicotine strengths from 3mg to 18mg. When choosing a strength, it’s important to consider your nicotine intake. A normal hit is 1.5 to 6, strong 6-9, and extra strong 9-20mg. The best-selling super strength is ZYN Extra Strong in 12.5mg.
Menthol and fruit flavours
Flavours are crucial when you quit smoking. Quitters find great success in moving away from the taste of tobacco. Nicotine pouches are available in a range of popular flavours. Such as Watermelon, Cola, and Berry. Best-selling pouches include Velo Ice Cool.
How to use Nicotine Pouches?

What are the best Flavours?
Explore a range of mint and fruity flavours. If you’re a new user unsure what to pick, we recommend starting with something light or sweet. Aim to stay away from strong ice flavours until you get used to the tingly feeling.
Do pouches go off?
Pouches contain food-grade preservatives that help them stay usable for longer. Once you open a pack, we recommend finishing it within two weeks. Sealed packs will last up to a year.
How many should I purchase?
The average person will use 6-10 pouches a day. If you’re going through a lot, that’s a sign you should probably up your nicotine strength. A standard pack of pouches contains 20 which should last 2-3 days of use. At TECC, we offer multi buy prices and one off discounts on your favourite brands.
How long should I use a pouch for?
Each brand will manufacture its products differently. This means some can be used for up to 30 minutes. Whereas others will take up to an hour to emit all its nicotine. We also recommend checking guidance on the packaging and the brand’s official site.
Why do nicotine pouches tingle?
The tobacco free alternatives will tingle your lip and gum for the first five minutes of use. This sensation occurs when nicotine begins to soak out of the pouch and into the gum. If the tingle is too strong, you should consider switching to a lower strength.
How old do I have to be to buy pouches?
Like other nicotine products, the pouches cannot be sold to anyone under 18. At TECC, we operate a strict age verification process to ensure products don’t end up in the wrong hands.
