What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches are small, tobacco-free sachets that contain nicotine, flavourings, and plant-based fibres. Unlike traditional snus (which contains tobacco and is banned in the UK), pouches are 100% tobacco-free. They produce no smoke, vapour, or odour.
Place a pouch under your upper lip for 15-45 minutes. Nicotine is absorbed through the gum. Compared to cigarettes, pouches offer a cleaner alternative with no combustion, tar, or secondhand smoke.
The global market has grown since 2016. Sweden leads adoption. Today, over 50 brands produce pouches in strengths from 2mg to 50mg per pouch.

What Nicotine Strength Should I Choose?
Strength is measured in milligrams (mg) per pouch. Higher mg means stronger effect. Here's how to choose:
| Strength Category | Nicotine (mg/pouch) | Recommended For | Comparable To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | ≤ 4 mg | Beginners, tapering down | Ultra-light cigarettes |
| Medium | 4.1 – 8 mg | Light smokers, vapers | Regular cigarettes |
| Strong | 8.1 – 12 mg | Regular smokers | Strong cigarettes |
| Extra Strong | 12.1 – 20 mg | Heavy smokers | 20+ cigarettes/day |
| Extreme | 20.1 mg+ | Experienced users only | Experienced users only |
Pro tip: If you smoke 10 cigarettes per day, start with Medium (4.1-8mg). If you smoke 20+ per day, try Strong (8.1-12mg). You can always adjust based on your experience.
Symptom-Based Guidance
Use one pouch at a time. If you experience dizziness, nausea, headache, or a racing heartbeat, stop using and switch to a lower strength.
