Nicotine pouches have several different names; although not all of them are accurate. Other names that are used to refer to them include nic pouches, snus, nicopods, and nicpods.Other names are likely to pop up over time, as their popularity is increasing by the day, especially with footballers nicotine pouches currently in the limelight.

Nicotine pouches are a type of smoking cessation tool shaped like a small, white pouch. These pouches contain flavouring, nicotine and a type of filler, which is usually made using high-quality natural ingredients. Similar to snus pouches they gradually release nicotine orally, which is absorbed by the body.

Nicopods are another name for nicotine pouches, or nic pouches. This means that they’re the same slender all-white portion pouches as ‘nicotine pouches’ - pouches that are filled with nicotine as well as other ingredients to offer users a seamless nicotine experience.

Although many people use the term ‘snus pouches’ to refer to nicotine pouches - they’re actually two different products. Snus nicotine pouches are a product that originated in Sweden and they contain tobacco; these oral tobacco pouches are not legal within the UK, and are also prohibited across the majority of Europe, too. These tobacco pouches have been designed to sit in the mouth between the gum and upper lip whilst the tobacco releases nicotine, as well as a variety of harmful chemicals.

Nicotine pouches have been developed as an alternative nicotine product that’s intended to assist with smoking cessation. The nicotine pouches help people quit smoking by replacing the nicotine that they crave from tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars with a safer alternative form of nicotine.

Nicopods, as another name for nicotine pouches, are used for the exact same thing. Nicopods are a useful tool for anybody that’s trying to give up cigarettes, or other tobacco products as they provide the user with the nicotine they crave - minus the carcinogenic chemicals contained within tobacco.

The majority of snus pouches are made using premium air-dried tobacco that has been packed into a pouch that’s created using organic cellulose compounds. Although some brands may differ, this is the most common type of snus pouch and has been designed for optimal nicotine delivery.

Velo nicotine pouches work much the same way as any other brand of nicotine pouch does. All you have to do in order to enjoy smooth nicotine satisfaction is take a pouch out of the portable carry case and tuck it between your upper lip and gum. This is where it should stay for a maximum of an hour at a time. Whilst the pouch is in place it will deliver nicotine through the mucous membrane of your gum, straight into your bloodstream.

Using nicopods works the exact same way as using nicotine pouches.

• Take a pod out of the packaging
• Pop the nicopod in your mouth between your lip and gum
• Leave the nicpod there for up to an hour as your body absorbs its nicotine
• Dispose of the nicotine pod properly once you’re finished with it.

To open a pack of Velo nicotine pouches follow the guidelines on the container and twist the lid off to access the pouches.

Snus pouches, although they contain different ingredients to regular nicotine pouches, work very similarly. However, there is an exception. As authentic snus pouches contain tobacco it’d advised that you do not swallow saliva that has any of its active ingredients in. Rather than swallow the saliva you’re instead supposed to spit - swallowing it can cause intestinal irritation, feelings of nausea as well as induce symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea.

No nicotine product is truly 100% safe, as nicotine is an addictive substance that can cause changes within the body. However, we can say that nicotine pouches are, without a doubt, much safer than conventional tobacco. Nic pouches have far fewer carcinogens than cigarettes or other tobacco products, such as oral tobacco.

It’s hard to say whether nicotine pouches are better than vaping as there are benefits to both. Both are great ways to successfully stop smoking, but ultimately they’re best suited to different types of people. Some prefer the sensation of inhaling in a similar way to smoking, which is where vapes come in, whilst others want to take a step away from all reminders of smoking, and would instead prefer a simple nicotine alternative.

Nicotine pouches, as you may have guessed, contain nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance and can be responsible for a number of physiological changes such as an increased heart rate and increased blood pressure; it can also increase the risk of suffering from heart disease. Although nicotine pouches are much safer than using tobacco products, we would not recommend them to those who have never smoked or vaped previously.

Nicotine pouches can sometimes irritate the gums due to the pouch rubbing against the lining during use. However, unlike chewing tobacco, nicotine pouches have not been shown to cause lasting damage to gums at this time.

There is currently no evidence to suggest that nicotine pouches can cause gum disease. However, it is well known that tobacco products do, as they’re filled with thousands of harmful chemicals and carcinogens.

As of yet there is no evidence to suggest that nicotine pouches can cause, or are responsible for, gum recession or any other type of gum disease. However it is possible for them to irritate the gums if they’ve been positioned incorrectly; this causes the pouch to move and rub against the gum, causing discomfort.

There is no evidence to suggest that nicotine pouches are capable of directly causing gum, mouth or lung cancer; however research indicates that nicotine can affect pre-existing tumours

As far as we are currently aware, nicotine pouches do not cause any lasting damage to gums. They can irritate them when placed incorrectly as it can cause unnecessary friction. However, as of right now we do not believe that nicotine pouches directly damage gums.

Nicotine pouches are not known for directly causing any type of cancer, including gum, mouth or lung. However, it is believed that nicotine may be able to interact with preexisting tumours.

No, nicotine pouches are not believed to directly or indirectly cause cancer. So far research suggests that nicotine pouches do not possess the same levels of toxicants or cancer causing chemicals as tobacco.

We wholeheartedly believe that nicotine pouches are much, much better than smoking. There are more flavours, a wider variety of nicotine strengths in nicotine pouches, there’s also no odour, no smoke, and significantly fewer toxicants and carcinogens in nicotine pouches than in tobacco products like cigarettes. The risk of developing conditions such as gum disease and cancer are also substantially reduced if you compare the use of nicotine pouches to the use of tobacco products.

There isn’t a simple answer to this question as it depends on your own personal experience, as well as the brand of nicotine pouch too. We would not recommend that anybody who doesn’t smoke or vape use nicotine pouches. Nicotine is a very addictive substance that can contribute to a variety of health problems, including but not limited to: nausea, headaches, dizziness, reduced attention span, difficulty focusing and addiction.

There isn’t an exact number of nicotine pouches that you can, or cannot, have each day. However, most users report that they use approximately half a can per day. Whether you’re using 2 or 20 pouches per day, there’s no wrong answer so long as you listen to your body. If you begin to feel nauseous, dizzy, or have any other side effects you should discontinue using nicotine pouches immediately and seek medical advice.

Like with nicotine pouches, there isn’t a specific limit on the number of snus pouches that you can use in a day. The amount per day largely depends on how much nicotine is in the pouches, and how you feel when using them. If you begin to experience adverse effects from using the snus nicotine pouches then we’d suggest that you stop using them straight away.

Nicotine pouches can last anywhere from 10 - 60 minutes; however, we'd recommend removing them from your mouth and disposing of them as soon as you feel satisfied, because the nicotine stays within your system for a while after absorption stops.

Nicotine snus pouches, like regular tobacco-free pouches, are able to last for anywhere between 10 - 60 minutes. It’s all a matter of personal preference. Some individuals might enjoy their nicotine pouch for as little as 10 minutes before feeling their cravings subside, whilst others might want to enjoy the flavour or nicotine for longer. There’s no exact time limit on how long you can use a snus pouch for, but we do urge you to remember not to swallow your snus pouch, or your saliva whilst using it as it could make you feel unwell.

Nicotine pouches are not reusable - they’re intended for a single use of up to 60 minutes at a time before being disposed of properly. Although you can’t reuse nicotine pouches, there’s nothing stopping you from using them back to back if you don’t feel satisfied from using just one.

Of course! There’s nothing to stop you from using nicotine pouches whilst you’re travelling, whether it’s by plane, boat or car. This is because nicotine pouches are smokeless as well as vapourless - so they don’t produce smoke or vapour when used as intended.

Nicotine pouches, although often referred to as Snus, are not the same thing as snus. Snus is a pouch that has been filled with a portion of tobacco, making it an oral tobacco product similar to chewing tobacco. Nicotine pouches on the other hand consist of a natural or synthetic nicotine, as well as fillings and flavouring - they don’t contain any tobacco leaf, plant or stem whatsoever!

The main difference between snus and nicotine pouches is that snus pouches have been made using authentic tobacco, so they contain high levels of carcinogenic compounds. Nicotine pouches aren’t made using tobacco and so there’s significantly lower levels of harmful chemicals and toxicants within them.

Nicotine pouches are not haram, although snus pouches are. Nicotine pouches don’t contain tobacco, which is forbidden due to the harm it can cause to oneself and others.

It’s hard to say whether nicotine pouches definitely stain teeth, but it’s believed that the nicotine within them can contribute to tooth staining. If you’re concerned about whether or not nicotine pouches might stain your teeth it may be best to increase your oral hygiene practices, just in case.

There are a few reasons as to why nicotine pouches might cause a burning or tingling sensation in the mouth. One of these is due to the strength of the nicotine; strong nicotine pouches are more likely to activate the Rat Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons, the same way capsaicin does, which can cause burning or tingling sensations. Another reason as to why you might feel like the pouch is burning is due to its pH level; the average pH for saliva is between 7 & 8. Changes in the pH can cause a burning sensation within the mouth - but the main thing to remember is that despite the unpleasant feeling, it’s highly unlikely to cause any damage!

Approximately as little as 10%-20% of the nicotine is absorbed from each pouch; the majority of the nicotine is absorbed within the first 10 minutes before it slows down and becomes steadier.

Nicotine pouches are a great companion for anyone on their journey to becoming smoke-free. Nic pouches replace the nicotine that you crave from vapes or tobacco, and they don’t contain the same concentration of harmful chemicals as tobacco either, making them a safer option overall.

However, it’s important to pick the right nicotine strength to suit your current habits - if you pick a pouch that contains too much nicotine you might find that your nicotine addiction becomes worse, rather than better.

Nicotine pouches can expire, yes, but not in the same way as consumable items such as food and drinks. Expired nicotine pouches are not toxic and will not have a foul smell or odour - they’ll simply be less potent. As nicotine expires it slowly degrades, losing efficacy and potency. You can, technically, use expired nicotine pouches, but they won’t be as strong or flavoursome as they would be if they were fresh. Nicotine usually begins to degrade after a year, so for most nicotine pouches you have a year before they should be replaced.

Nicotine pouches are made to slot beneath your lip and rest against your gum, where they release nicotine over a period of up to an hour. When you’re finished using a nicotine pouch you should dispose of it in a general waste bin.

Some nicotine pouches are biodegradable, yes. However, not all of them are. Only brands that use all-natural ingredients and materials have biodegradable nicotine pouches. If you’re uncertain we’d recommend checking the brands website for further information.

Cans of Siberia snus can contain anywhere from 15 - 20 pouches per pack. Siberia nicotine pouches usually contain 20 pouches per tin though, so you get more portions for your money!

The amount of snus pouches in a can of snus will usually depend on the brand, and whether the snus is measured in premade pouches, or is loose portions that you have to pinch yourself. Most people will get approximately 20 pouches from a can of snus, but it’s always best to check the manufacturer's guidelines for more accurate information.
