How To Use Nicotine Pouches

Nicotine pouches are a relatively new, but ever-popular, alternative to traditional smoking and tobacco products. They are small pouches that contain nicotine, flavourings, and other ingredients, which are placed under the lip. Nicotine pouches are a smoke-free, tobacco-free, and odour-free way to consume nicotine.

As more people switch to nicotine pouches, questions about how to use them arise more frequently. In this blog post, we break down everything you need to know about how to use nicotine pouches and also provide some tips for beginner users.

Step 1: Choose the Right Nicotine Pouch

Nicotine pouches come in various strengths, flavours, and sizes. It is essential to select the best nicotine pouch that suits your preferences and nicotine tolerance. If you are a beginner, it is advisable to start with a lower nicotine strength and gradually increase it as your body adapts to the nicotine intake.

Step 2: Wash Your Hands

Before using a nicotine pouch, ensure that your hands are clean to prevent any unwanted bacteria or germs from entering your mouth. Hand hygiene is essential to having a pleasant nicotine experience and continuing your journey to being tobacco-free

Step 3: Place the Nicotine Pouch Under Your Lip

Take the nicotine pouch out of the package and place it under your upper or lower lip, depending on your preference. Gently press the pouch against your gum, and let it sit there for a while. Its shape allows for a more comfortable fit between the gum and the upper lip (either side). The pouch works just as well when placed under the lower lip, as long as you flatten it against your gum. Once under your lip, the pouch will become unnoticeable, even when you talk or laugh.

Step 4: Keep the Pouch in Place

Once you have placed the pouch in your mouth, try not to move it around too much. Moving the pouch can cause the nicotine to disperse too quickly and may cause irritation to your gums or mouth. It is best to keep the pouch in place for at least 15-20 minutes before removing it.

Step 5: Enjoy the tingling experience

You may feel a slight tingling of the gums that comes with nicotine pouch use. This experience is expected and occurs as the nicotine and flavours release from the pouch. For most people, the tingling sensation lasts for 0-15 minutes, after this it stabilises and you'll enjoy the refreshing nicotine flavour even more.

Step 6: Dispose of the Pouch Responsibly

Once you have finished using the nicotine pouch, remove it from your mouth and dispose of it properly. You can store a used pouch in the top lid compartment when a bin is not immediately available. Make sure you remove any used pouches before recycling the can.

Tips for Beginner Nicotine Pouch Users
