Beginners Guide On How To Use Nicotine Pouches
Nicotine pouches offer a discreet, smoke-free, and tobacco-free way to enjoy nicotine. Follow these simple steps for the best experience.
Step 1: Place a Pouch Under Your Lip
- Open the Can: Twist open the container to access your nicotine pouches.
- Select a Pouch: Take one nicotine pouch from the can.
- Placement: Place the pouch under your upper lip on either side, ensuring it fits comfortably between your gum and lip. You can also place it under your lower lip as long as it's flattened against your gum. Once positioned, the pouch becomes unnoticeable, even when you talk or laugh.
Step 2: Feel a Tingling Sensation
- Initial Sensation: You may feel a slight tingling in your gums. This is normal and indicates the nicotine and flavours are being released.
- Duration: For most users, the tingling lasts 0-15 minutes, after which it stabilises, and you can enjoy the refreshing nicotine flavour.
Step 3: Enjoy the Nicotine Experience
- Relax or Stay Active: Whether you’re relaxing at home or on the move, you can enjoy your nicotine pouch without interruption. Talk, laugh, and even sing without the pouch getting in the way.
- Usage Time: If you’re new to nicotine pouches, start with a shorter duration (0-15 minutes). As you become more familiar, you can extend the time to enjoy the nicotine experience for up to an hour.
Step 4: Dispose of Nicotine Pouches Responsibly
- Removal: After up to an hour, remove the pouch from your mouth.
- Disposal: Nicotine pouches are non-recyclable and should be thrown into general waste. If a trash bin is not available, store the used pouch in the top lid compartment of the can.
- Recycling the Can: The can itself is made from PP (polypropylene) and is recyclable in most household recycling programs. Ensure you remove any used pouches before recycling the can. Check with your local authorities for specific recycling guidelines.
Tips for Using Nicotine Pouches
- Choose the Right Strength: Nicotine pouches come in various strengths. Select one that matches your nicotine needs.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water can help prevent dry mouth.
- Store Properly: Keep your nicotine pouches in a cool, dry place to maintain their freshness.
Safety and Precautions
- For Adults Only: Nicotine pouches are intended for adult use. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
- Health Considerations: If you experience any adverse effects, stop using the pouches and consult a healthcare professional.
- Check for Allergies: Review the ingredients for any potential allergens if you have known sensitivities.
By following these steps, you can maximise your enjoyment and benefits from nicotine pouches while ensuring responsible use and disposal.
