Nicotine pouches are a relatively new development in the world of nicotine alternatives. Initially becoming popular in the 2010s as an alternative to regular tobacco products. They were developed as part of the larger category of snus (a form of moist powder tobacco product originated in Sweden) before evolving into the tobacco-free varieties that are widely available today. Their growth was inspired by the demand for non-tobacco oral nicotine products that could be used discreetly without smoking or vaping.

What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches are small, soft white packets that sit between your upper lip and gum. Inside, you’ll find nicotine, flavourings, and plant-based fibres - no tobacco leaf, dust, or stem. They're designed to give you a slow, steady nicotine release without any smoke, mess, or smell.
Originally inspired by Scandinavian snus, nicotine pouches offer the same convenience with zero tobacco content.

How to Use A Nicotine Pouch
