Frequently Asked Questions
Nicotine pouches are small, smokeless, and spit-free pouches containing nicotine, flavourings and food-grade ingredients. You place one between your upper lip and gum; the nicotine is absorbed through your oral mucosa for a discreet nicotine experience.

We offer multiple nicotine strengths (e.g. low, medium, strong). If you're new to nicotine pouches, we suggest starting with a lower strength (e.g. 2-4 mg) and then gradually increasing only if needed and adjust based on your experience and nicotine tolerance.
NicoUK carries a wide variety of flavours such as mint, wintergreen, citrus, berry, coffee, and more. New flavours may rotate, so check our product listings regularly for the latest range.
High-quality nicotine pouches are designed to minimize staining. Still, maintaining good oral hygiene (brushing, rinsing) helps reduce any risk of discoloration. Using lighter-strength pouches may also lessen the impact.
While nicotine pouches are considered a less harmful alternative to traditional smoking (because they eliminate combustion), they still contain nicotine, which is addictive. Use responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets. If you have health concerns, please consult a healthcare professional.
They can be used as a harm-reduction tool or alternative to cigarettes, but they are not officially approved as smoking cessation products. If you want to quit smoking altogether, consider seeking medical advice or using approved cessation aids.
