How To Use Nicotine Pouches

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 lips. Nicotine pouches are a smoke-free, tobacco-free, and odour-less way to consume nicotine.

Step 1: Choose the right nicotine pouch

Nicotine pouches are available in different strengths, flavours, and sizes. You should choose a nicotine pouch that suits your preferences and nicotine tolerance. Beginners should start with a lower nicotine strength and gradually increase it as their bodies adapt to the nicotine.

Step 2: Wash your hands

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

Step 3: Place the nicotine pouch under your lip

Depending on your preference, place the nicotine pouch under your upper or lower lip. Let the pouch sit against your gum for a few minutes. Its shape allows for a more comfortable fit between the gums and the upper lip (on either side). The pouch works just as well when placed under the lower lip, as long as you flatten it against your gums. Once under your lips, 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 nicotine to disperse too quickly and irritation to your gums or mouth. It is advisable 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 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 available. Make sure you remove any unused pouches before recycling the can.
