Beginner’s Guides

If you’re not already using nicotine pouches then you probably know someone who is. That’s how popular they are becoming. This is partly because they are seen as a healthier cigarette alternative. It’s a fact. [Grand View Research confirms that the major nicotine pouch brands, such as Swedish Match, have seen massive growth in sales.] (https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/nicotine-pouches-market-report) If you’re ready to start using nicotine pouches, here’s what you can expect.

Nicotine Pouches Are Stronger

Forget what it says on the side of your cigarette packet. On average, you get 1.5 mg of nicotine from a single cigarette. Think how many cigarettes you have a day and you’ll be able to work out your nicotine intake.

"In contrast, you’ll absorb approximately 50% of the nicotine in a pouch. That means, if it’s a 6 mg pouch you’ll get around 3 mg of nicotine.”

Of course, there are many different nicotine pouch strength levels and a nicotine pouch lasts for between 30-60 minutes. That’s considerably longer than your average cigarette. So, what does this mean? Your best bet is to try and match the amount of nicotine you currently have with the strength of your preferred pouch. For example, if you currently smoke 10 cigarettes a day then that’s roughly 15 mg of nicotine. You can have ten 3 mg pouches in a day and absorb approximately the same nicotine. It’s recommended you have one pouch every 1-2 hours so that fits nicely.

The Array Of Flavours

When starting with pouches we recommend you take a moment to look at our great deals.

What you’ll notice is the attractive pricing and the huge array of flavours. It’s going to take a little getting used to.

We recommend you start with the classics, mint and even tobacco flavours. Then, as you get used to the sensation of nicotine pouches you can try any of the others which take your fancy.

The Zing!

Cigarettes often have a harsh taste in your throat. You’re not going to get that with a nicotine pouch. Instead, you’ll feel a zing a couple of minutes after putting the pouch in position. This shows the nicotine is being released and will gradually move into your bloodstream. It’s a very different and arguably more pleasant sensation than smoking.

Getting Comfortable

It’s strange but you can use a nicotine pouch anywhere. Simply slide it between your lip and gums and leave it there. Mini and slim pouches are as good as invisible once in position. You’ll feel strange sliding it in and you’ll be aware of it. However, they are designed to be very comfortable and this strange feeling will quickly fade.

Summing Up

Whether you’re switching from a traditional tobacco product or simply want to try nicotine pouches, you’ll quickly get used to how they look, feel, and taste. We’re betting you’ll probably never want to go back to your old cigarettes!
