Nicotine pouches are small, tobacco-free pouches that sit under the upper lip and release nicotine gradually. They do not need charging, they do not produce vapour or smoke, and they last about 15 to 45 minutes depending on strength. Nicotine pouches are only sold to adults aged 18 and over.

How to pick a nicotine pouch strength
Strength on a pouch tin usually refers to the nicotine content of a single pouch, in milligrams. Because the pouch releases nicotine slowly through the gum rather than in a single vape hit, the felt strength does not scale one to one with a nic salt e-liquid. A pouch also holds you over for far longer than a puff of a vape.
Regular (4mg to 6mg)
Suits first-time pouch users, occasional users, and anyone stepping off a low-strength vape. Nordic Spirit Regular at 6mg and Fumi Regular at 4mg sit in this tier.
Strong (8mg to 11mg)
The most common range for people moving off cigarettes or 20mg vapes. Nordic Spirit Strong 9mg, Velo 8mg and 10mg, and Fumi Strong 8mg sit here.
Extra strong (11mg to 15mg)
Higher throughput for heavier users. Nordic Spirit Extra Strong 11mg, Velo 5-Dot 14mg and Fumi Extra Strong 11mg sit in this bracket.
Ultra strong (16mg and above)
Killa 16.5mg, Pablo Silver, Pablo 30mg and Pablo Exclusive 50mg. These are imported brands built for very experienced pouch users. Do not start here.

How to use a nicotine pouch
Take one pouch from the tin. Place it flat under your upper lip, between the gum and the lip. Leave it in place. Nicotine releases through the gum over 15 to 45 minutes depending on strength and brand. When you are finished, put the used pouch back into the top compartment of the tin, which is designed to hold spent pouches until you can bin them safely.
Do not chew the pouch. Do not swallow the pouch. Only use one pouch at a time until you know how the strength affects you.
Nicotine pouches versus vaping
Pouches suit situations where you cannot vape, for example at work, on a flight, at night, or in enclosed public spaces. They are also popular alongside a pod kit as a low-visibility option. If you are looking for the full smoke-free product range, the vape kits collection covers rechargeable pod kits, and the e-liquid range covers refills.

Frequently Asked Questions
A nicotine pouch is a small, tobacco-free pouch containing nicotine, plant fibres, flavour and pH adjusters. It sits under the upper lip and releases nicotine gradually through the gum. It does not produce smoke or vapour.
Between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the brand, strength and how strong your reaction is. Nordic Spirit and Velo tend to sit at the longer end. Higher-strength imports often peak faster.
For a first-time pouch user, 4mg to 6mg is the usual starting point. If you were on 20mg disposables, 8mg to 11mg is a closer match. Avoid Killa and Pablo strengths above 16mg until you have tried pouches before.
Yes. Every pouch stocked here contains no tobacco leaf. Nicotine is extracted from tobacco but the pouch itself is made from plant fibres. That is why they are grouped separately from tobacco products in most retailers.
Pouches are smoke-free and vapour-free, which is why many users pick them for situations where vaping is not allowed. Always check the specific policy of your workplace, airline or venue before use.
Yes. Every tin has a best before date printed on the base. Pouches gradually lose moisture and flavour after opening, so keep the tin closed and store it out of direct sunlight.
Public Health England and independent researchers consider oral nicotine and vaping products significantly less harmful than smoking cigarettes, but they are not risk-free. Nicotine is addictive. If you are looking for advice on stopping nicotine use altogether, speak to a stop-smoking service or a GP.
