Cigarettes Versus Nicotine Pouches

Cigarettes vs Nicotine Pouches

How does a cigarette compare to a nicotine pouch?

There are a number of factors to consider, most importantly how you smoke your cigarettes and what the nicotine absorption rates are for cigarettes and nicotine pouches.

Here’s what we understand at this time:
Nicotine pouches containing 6MG of nicotine can leave you with the same amount of nicotine in your bloodstream as one cigarette.

When you smoke a cigarette, your body absorbs 2mg of nicotine over the course of 6-7 minutes.

During the 45-60 minutes that you use a nicotine pouch, you absorb 31% of the nicotine available in the product. This means that you would absorb 2mg of nicotine from a nicotine pouch containing 6mg.

Cigarettes come in two flavours: Menthol and Tobacco. However, the UK has recently banned menthol cigarettes.  

In an effort to protect people from the harmful effects of tobacco, the European Union (EU) has banned menthol cigarettes. Smokers can successfully quit smoking with nicotine pouches, which come in a variety of flavours.

At Buynicotinepouches.co.uk we stock many flavours. Some of the key categories are:

REMEMBER one nicotine pouch containing 6MG of nicotine will leave you with the same amount of nicotine in your bloodstream as one cigarette does. The same amount of nicotine in a nicotine pouch takes much longer (up to or more than 45 minutes) - hopefully helping you stay away from that next cigarette!

0MG  - 6MG - Low
7MG - 12MG - Medium
13MG - 19MG - Strong
