In this guide, we answer all your questions and provide easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to help you get the most out of your Nordic Spirit experience. Whether you’re a first-time user or looking to optimise your pouch use, we’ve got you covered.
In short, Nordic Spirit is a brand of tobacco-free snus (also known as nicotine pouches). Their entire range comes in 2 pouch sizes, 10 different flavours and 3 different nicotine strengths - but you can learn more about this in our Nordic Spirit Review.
Nordic Spirit snus are small sachets containing nicotine derived from tobacco. Free from tobacco leaf, they offer a modern, smoke-free alternative to traditional nicotine products.
Nordic Spirit pouches work similarly to other nicotine pouches, being placed between the lip and gum. These tobacco-free pouches are available in various flavours, strengths, and sizes, making them suitable for diverse preferences. Designed to fit discreetly under your lip, the nicotine is delivered via the mucous membranes.

Nordic Spirit cans feature two compartments for convenience: the central can and the under-lid storage.
Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches come in a circular plastic container, known as a can. The cans have a childproof lid which means it requires some effort to get it open (once you know how, it will be super simple to do!). To open a can, you just need to follow these two steps:
Now you have opened the can, it is time to use your Nordic Spirit snus! Using Nordic Spirit is similar to how you would use other nicotine pouches or snus. Follow these simple steps:
1. Open the Can: Twist the lid to break the seal and access the pouches.
2. Place Under the Lip: Position the pouch comfortably between your upper lip and gum for optimal use. A mild tingling sensation may occur as the pouch activates.
3. Leave it in place: Leave the pouch in place for 5–60 minutes, depending on your preference. First-time users may prefer shorter durations (5–15 minutes). You will most likely feel a slight tingling sensation when you park the pouch, but this usually subsides after around 15 minutes.
4. Dispose Properly: After use, place the pouch in the under-lid compartment or a bin.

The optimal placement for a nicotine pouch is between your upper lip and gum, as this allows the nicotine to release evenly. However, some users prefer positioning the pouch under their lower lip. Experiment to find the placement that feels most comfortable for you.
Nordic Spirit caters to various preferences with these options:
Once you have finished your can of Nordic Spirit, it is important to make sure you dispose of it correctly:
Since the materials used to create Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches are not recyclable, it’s important that you do not throw the pouches in anywhere other than a regular bin. However, the cans are recyclable as they are made of polypropylene (PP), which is recycled in most places in the UK.
You can check with your local authority if you're unsure what is recycled in your area (just make sure to remove all the old pouches before putting your can in the recycling!).

How long you should keep Nordic Spirit in your mouth depends on if you have used these pouches before. If you are new to Nordic Spirit, it is better to keep the pouch in for a shorter time (about 5-15 minutes) but if you regularly use nicotine pouches, you can enjoy it for up to 30 minutes.
Nordic Spirit cans usually have a shelf life of one year, unless they are opened - then you should use your can within 14 days for an optimal experience.
Store the pouches in their original can, away from sunlight and moisture. Many store their snus in the fridge.
Beginners are recommended to start with lower nicotine strengths and follow the instructions provided.
