What are nicotine pouches

Nicotine pouches are small pouches that contain nicotine, flavourings, water, and sweeteners. They are spit-free and different from other smokeless products as they don't contain tobacco. When the pouch is placed between the lip and gum or cheek, it offers a consistent nicotine release without any adverse side effects.

How to use nicotine pouches 

Whether you are a nicotine user considering making the switch or you are wondering about a few of the basics like how nicotine pouches work or how to use nicotine pouches for the first time, below is the step-by-step guide to use nicotine pouches properly.

Step 1: Pick a pouch and place it under your lips

Pop the lid off the can and take one nicotine pouch. Place it between your upper lip and gum. You can pull your upper lip forward to create a space between your upper gum and lip. Keep the nicotine pouch in place for around 20-30 minutes and let it begin absorbing. You will feel a slight sensation at first that means nicotine is starting to take effect. Adjust the pouch slightly if the tingling feels too intense.

Step 2: Let the nicotine begin absorbing and enjoy

Once the pouch is in place, it's time to let the nicotine absorb— no need to suck or chew it with your tongue. The nicotine will absorb through the oral mucosa, gum lining, and into your system. The flavour will start to develop and provide a refreshing experience. The nicotine will release gradually on its own. If you are a new user, it is recommended to start with a shorter session of 5 to 15 minutes to see how your body reacts. 

Step 3: Dispose of the pouch

When the flavour begins to fade, simply take it out and dispose of it in a waste bin. Never flush it down the toilet or litter as this can harm the environment. If you are on the go and can't find the bin, you can store them in the catch lid of your can until you can dispose of them properly. 

How Do Nicotine Pouches Work?

Unlike traditional smoking or vaping, which deliver nicotine through the lungs, nicotine pouches use the oral absorption pathway. Here's how nicotine pouches work:

• When you place a nicotine pouch between your upper gum and lip, the moisture in your mouth begins to interact with it. 

• Flavour and nicotine are released from a nicotine pouch into saliva and absorbed through the oral mucosa- the mucous membrane lining the inside of the mouth.

• Once absorbed, the nicotine enters your bloodstream and is distributed to organs and tissues. This will result in activating your body's reward system and stimulating the release of adrenaline.
