Nicotine pouches are small white pouches placed under the lip, against the lip and gum line, where nicotine and flavour are gradually released and nicotine is absorbed through the mouth lining. Tobacco-free nicotine pouches contain nicotine, plant fibres, and flavouring - pouches do not contain tobacco leaf, vapour, or combustion of any kind.

As oral nicotine products, they share some similarities with snus in terms of format, but nicotine pouches do not contain tobacco and are a distinct category of nicotine product. Brands like Velo, ZYN, and Nordic Spirit have driven awareness of nicotine pouches across the UK, and sales of nicotine pouches have grown steadily as adult nicotine users look for tobacco-free alternatives to traditional tobacco products.

Nicotine pouches are regulated in the UK and all products stocked at Alternix use pharmaceutical grade nicotine and come in manufacturers' child-resistant packaging.

Why Use Nicotine Pouches?

How to Use A Nicotine Pouch

Using an oral nicotine pouch is straightforward. Open the can and place one pouch between your lip and gum. Nicotine is released gradually and absorbed through the mouth lining - a mild tingling sensation in the first few minutes is normal. Leave the pouch in place for 20 to 60 minutes, then dispose of it responsibly. Most cans include a small compartment in the lid for used pouches.

Choosing the Right Strength and Format

Finding the Nicotine pouch strengths range from around 4mg of nicotine per pouch at the lower end, up to 20mg and above. If you are new to nicotine pouch use, starting with a lower nicotine option in the 4 to 6mg range gives you a chance to find your level without overdoing it. Those with higher nicotine levels - around 10 to 15mg - tend to suit experienced nicotine users who are used to a stronger nicotine experience. High levels of nicotine above 15mg are available for those who need them, but are worth approaching with care.

Each product listing on Alternix shows the exact mg of nicotine per pouch, so you can compare nicotine strengths across brands before you buy.

Slim pouches are the standard format across most brands and suit everyday use. Mini pouches sit lower under the lip for extra discretion, while larger formats offer a longer release. Dry pouches tend to last longer; moist pouches absorb faster.
