How to use Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine Pouch User Guide
How do I use a nicotine pouch?
Take one out of the tin. Place it between your gum and lip. You’ll feel a tingling, hot sensation – that’s the nicotine being released. You can gently chew it a few times to release the nicotine. Keep the pouch between your gum and lip for a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes. DON’T SWALLOW IT.
What nicotine strength should I use?
Pouches come in different strengths (for example 4mg/g and 6 mg/g). If you’re a heavy smoker (20+ a day) start with the higher strength. If it feels too strong, ask for a lower strength. If you smoke less than 20 a day, try the lower strength. If you find it does not take away your craving to smoke, ask to try a higher strength.
How often should I use a pouch?
Try to use one every hour or whenever you get the urge to have a cigarette; if you keep the pouch in your mouth for up to 60 minutes each time, you should not need more than one an hour. Atin should last you 1-2 days.
What side effects might I get?
Similar to other oral nicotine replacements like lozenges and mouth spray, you might get hiccups or a sore mouth. If you have too many, you might feel sick and get an upset stomach.
Safety tips:
To prevent infection DO NOT share a pouch with anyone or use a pouch that someone has thrown away. If you accidentally swallow a pouch, let the staff know straight away. Throw away the used pouch in the waste compartment in the top of the tin. Or throw it in a bin.
