FAQ
WHAT ARE NICOTINE POUCHES?
Nicotine pouches offer a cleaner, smoke-free way to consume nicotine — often used to help reduce or quit smoking and vaping.
They’re small, pre-portioned white pouches that sit discreetly in your mouth. Each pouch contains nicotine, plant-based filler, and flavouring — with no tobacco at all.
These pouches are designed to deliver a steady, controlled release of nicotine without the need to inhale or exhale anything.
Available in a range of flavours and strengths, users can choose what suits them best.
Unlike traditional cigarettes or vapes, nicotine pouches are used orally, eliminating the harmful chemicals found in smoke and vapour.
Nicotine itself is the active ingredient that creates the familiar "hit" by triggering dopamine release in the brain — the same mechanism involved in most addictive substances.
For those looking to cut back or quit nicotine altogether, pouches can be a helpful stepping stone toward regaining control.
WHICH NICOTINE STRENGTH IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Finding the right strength is important for staying consistent and avoiding withdrawal.
Start by matching your pouch strength to your current nicotine intake, and then reduce gradually over time. This step-down approach is far more effective (and sustainable) than quitting cold turkey — which often leads to relapse.
By lowering your intake slowly, you allow your brain and body to adjust — while avoiding the many toxins found in cigarettes and vapes.
This method offers a practical and healthier way to reduce dependence and eventually quit.
HOW MUCH NICOTINE DO YOU CURRENTLY USE?
| Your Current Habit | Recommended Pouch Strength |
|---|---|
| 1–10 cigarettes/day or 3–12mg vape strength | 3mg (Light) |
| 10–15 cigarettes/day or 12–18mg vape strength | 6mg (Standard) |
| 15–20 cigarettes/day or ~20mg vape strength | 9mg (Strong) |
| Over 20 cigarettes/day or 30mg+ vape strength | 9mg+ (Extra Strong) |
Most disposable vapes in Australia contain 50–60mg of nicotine.
HOW TO USE NICOTINE POUCHES
1. Open the Can
Most cans are sealed along the edge. Break or peel this seal, then squeeze the sides of the can to pop it open.
2. Place Under Your Lip
Take one pouch and tuck it between your gum and upper (or lower) lip — wherever feels most comfortable.
3. Let It Work
Keep the pouch in for up to 60 minutes. You’ll feel the nicotine release gradually, providing relief and satisfaction.
New users should start with a lower strength and shorter use time (e.g., 15–30 mins).
4. Remove and Dispose
Never swallow a pouch. Once done, take it out and dispose of it properly. Many cans have a built-in compartment in the lid for used pouches when a bin isn’t nearby.
Most cans are fully recyclable — always check the label for confirmation.
