Guide To Buying Nicotine Pouches

As a convenient and discreet alternative to traditional tobacco products, nicotine pouches are an excellent alternative. But, what do you need to know about nicotine pouches? In this guide, we go through everything you need to know when buying nicotine pouches from Northerner UK. 

What Are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches are typically white pouches which contain nicotine, however, they do not contain other features such as tobacco leaf. Nicotine pouches are similar to, or a tobacco-free version of, a product known as snus, which we will touch upon very shortly.

• - Nicotine pouches come in a variety of flavours to suit most people's needs, with options as diverse as fruit flavours, mint, and even coffee. 
• - Nicotine pouches are available in different strengths, depending on a person's preference, and can range from Low nicotine (1.5mg) to Extra Strong (15.6mg). 
• - Unlike vaping products, nicotine pouches do not require any batteries or accessories. 
• - To use a nicotine pouch, the user places it between their lip and their gum, this allows the nicotine and flavours to be released. As the content stays inside the pouch, nicotine pouches do not require spitting.
  

What is Snus?

Snus is a type of smokeless tobacco product which differs from nicotine pouches. Originating from Sweden in the early 18th century, snus is a traditional product available in either loose or small pouches which resemble tea bags. 

People place a pinch or a pouch of snus between their gum and the upper lip to absorb the nicotine. Snus typically contains tobacco leaves, water, salt, humectants (to help maintain moisture and texture), sodium carbonate (which helps with the preparation process), aromatic compounds, and flavourings may also be added to create different flavour profiles. 

What is the Difference Between Snus and Nicotine Pouches?

• - The primary difference between snus and nicotine pouches is that snus contains tobacco leaves, while nicotine pouches are completely free from tobacco. 
• - Nicotine pouches contain nicotine which is either extracted from tobacco plants or synthetically produced, but they do not contain anything like stem, dust, or tobacco leaf. 
• - Nicotine pouches have a quicker nicotine release in comparison to snus, and this is due to their higher moisture content and pH levels. However, snus provides a more sustained nicotine release over a longer period of time. 
• - Snus has a more robust tobacco flavour because it traditionally contains tobacco, water, and salt, but nicotine pouches provide a wider variety of flavours. 
• - Nicotine pouches tend to have a longer shelf life in comparison to snus and require different storage conditions. Snus requires cold storage because it's more perishable, which keeps the snus mature and its characteristic aroma and flavour intact. Conversely, nicotine pouches do not require any type of cold storage or refrigeration and can be conveniently stored in places like your bag or pocket because the ingredients can easily thrive at room temperature.
  

 

It's also important to point out that traditional snus, which contains tobacco, is illegal to buy or sell in the UK, but is legal to use if you are over 18 years old. Nicotine pouches, also known as tobacco-free snus or nicopods, do not contain any tobacco, and these are legal to purchase and use in the UK for anybody over the age of 18. 

While snus is illegal in the UK because of a ban implemented by the European Union in 1992, arising from concerns about the potential health risks associated with tobacco products, tobacco-free snus is widely available.
