What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches, also known as nic pouches, are pouches that you use orally to get your nicotine, but without tobacco leaves – offering a popular alternative to traditional Swedish snus and other oral tobacco products. They have become increasingly popular among adult nicotine users, as you can use nicotine pouches from anywhere and at any time – they are smokeless, spit- and odor-free pouches that are made with either nicotine extracted from the tobacco leaf or synthetic nicotine. Explore our wide selection of different nicotine pouch options from nicotine pouch brands such as ZYN, Rogue, VELO and On!® in a range of different flavor and nicotine level options.
How Long Have Nicotine Pouches Been Around?
Nicotine pouches came about to offer a new and tobacco leaf-free alternative to traditional snus. Swedish snus has been around for centuries, but it was not until the 1970s when the first pre-portioned pouches were introduced. However, over the recent decades as modern technology continues to develop and we have a better understanding of smoking risks, it was only going to be a matter of time before a tobacco-leaf free alternative to oral tobacco products was created. These pouches contain nicotine without tobacco leaf, dust, or stem. Following the success of ZYN (the first brand to launch nicotine pouches in the U.S. in 2014), numerous brands have since entered the market, offering unique ranges of flavors, nicotine strengths, and product formulations. In 2019, sales of nicotine pouches online began to skyrocket, with an average of 80,000 cans being sold each month. 2020 saw the launch of FRĒ nicotine pouches, which are made entirely with synthetic nicotine and offer a range of higher nicotine strengths than previously seen. 2021 has brought increased awareness and acceptance of nicotine pouches and new brands are looking to enter the market with more innovative products. It is expected that the popularity of nicotine pouches will continue to grow in the coming years. Interested in learning more about the history of nicotine pouches?

Nicotine Pouch Sizes and Formats
The size of a pouch can vary depending on the brand you choose. The three different pouch sizes you can typically find in the U.S. are: 1. Slim: Sometimes known as mini pouches, these are the smallest pouches you can find. Each slim pouch is small and rectangular in shape to allow for a comfortable and unobtrusive fit under the lip. 2. Regular: These pouches are slightly larger than the slim ones. 3. Large: The largest size of pouches, these pouches cover more surface area under the lip when parked. They may be bigger, but they are still comfortable and not noticeable when parked under the lip and gum.

- Open the can and take out a pouch.
- Place it under either your top lip or bottom lip and gum.
- Leave the pouch parked for up to 60 minutes. The exact length of time you leave it parked will depend on your personal preferences.
