How to Use Nicotine Pouches: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Nicotine pouches let you use nicotine without smoke, mess, or trouble. They are simple to carry, handy to use and do not leave any smell or stains. You will be guided through each step of using them properly, whether you are new to pouches, changing from smoking or vaping, or already have experience with this option.

Key Points

• Choose a pouch strength that matches your experience level.
• Place pouches correctly for maximum effect, without chewing or swallowing.
• Use responsibly, nicotine is addictive, so pace yourself.

Step 1 – Choose the Right Pouch for You

Nicotine pouches come in different strengths. Some have 2mg, 4mg, or even 10mg of nicotine. If you’re new, start with a lower strength like 2mg. See how it feels first.

Sizes also vary. Mini pouches are small and easy to hide. Standard ones are bigger and last longer. On NEOpouches we have a selection of both sizes. If you are a heavy smoker or use snus, you may need a stronger pouch. But if you just want something light and smooth, go small and low.

Try different flavours too, mint, fruit, or classic tobacco-style. NEOpouches have them all as well as cheap pouches.

Step 2 – Place It Under Your Upper Lip

Take one nicotine pouch from the can and place it gently between your gum and your upper lip. Most people prefer to place it on either the left or right side, not directly in the centre. You can use your fingers to position it, or your tongue if that feels easier. Make sure it feels snug but not too tight. There should be no pain or discomfort. If it feels odd, adjust it slightly. 

Do not chew the pouch. Do not suck on it. And never swallow it. It’s not chewing gum, just let it rest quietly and do its job.

Step 3 – Wait for the Nicotine to Kick In

When you put the pouch under your upper lip, you might feel a little tingling. This feeling means that nicotine is slowly being released. You no need to chew or move the pouch because flavour and nicotine come out slowly on their own. 

People usually keep the pouch in place for about 20 to 60 minutes, depending on what feels good for them. Dry pouches might need a little time before they start giving out flavour and nicotine, but the effects stay longer.

 On other hand, moist pouches give their flavour faster but do not last as long. You can pick between the two choices based on how you prefer to use the pouches.

Step 4 – Remove and Dispose of the Pouch Properly

Once the flavour is gone or the pouch starts to feel dry, it’s time to remove it. You can use your fingers or gently push it out with your tongue. Be careful not to swallow it. Always throw used pouches in the general waste bin, never flush them down the toilet. 

Cans often include a handy compartment in the lid to store used pouches when you’re out and about and can’t find a bin. It’s a clean and convenient solution. Always be responsible and never litter. Keeping things tidy helps protect the environment and keeps public spaces pleasant for everyone.

Step 5 – Use With Care

Pouches are very useful, but remember: nicotine is addictive. Make sure to use them with breaks in between so you don't overdo it, especially if you're just starting to try pouches. Pay attention to your body - if you feel nauseous or get headaches, it means you've had too much nicotine, so take a break. For people who smoke or vape and want to reduce harm, NEOpouches provide options without tobacco.

But remember, using them in moderation is very important. “Nicotine can impact your heart and brain, so use carefully,” suggests Dr Sarah Thompson, an expert in public health. Make a note of how frequently you are using pouches to maintain control.
