Nicotine Pouches

Nicotine Pouches – Product Information

Nicotine pouches are small, pre-portioned products containing nicotine and other ingredients. They are placed between the upper lip and gum and do not require combustion or vaping equipment.

This category provides information about nicotine pouch products, including nicotine content, pouch formats and packaging.

What Are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches are typically made using plant-based fibres, nicotine, flavourings and other ingredients. Their precise composition depends on the manufacturer.

Unlike traditional oral tobacco products, tobacco-free nicotine pouches do not contain tobacco leaf. However, they still contain nicotine, which is addictive.

Understanding Nicotine Pouch Specifications

Nicotine pouches are available in different formats and strengths. When reviewing a product, common specifications include:

• Nicotine content: The quantity of nicotine stated by the manufacturer.
• Pouch format: Products may be described as slim, mini or standard size.
• Pack quantity: The number of individual pouches included in a container.
• Ingredients: The materials, flavourings and other ingredients used in the formulation.

Understanding Nicotine Pouch Strengths

Nicotine pouch products may display their nicotine content in milligrams per pouch or milligrams per gram.

These measurements are not interchangeable. When comparing products, it is important to check how the manufacturer expresses nicotine strength.

A higher nicotine content does not necessarily indicate how much nicotine will be absorbed by an individual.

Important Nicotine Safety Information

Nicotine is addictive and carries health risks. Nicotine pouches are not intended for children, non-users of nicotine or anyone for whom nicotine use is medically inappropriate.

Keep nicotine-containing products away from children and animals, and follow all product warnings and manufacturer instructions.
