Choosing Your First Nicotine Pouch: A Starter’s Guide
Nathan Chilcott
Your world is about to be transformed. Nicotine pouches are an attractive and versatile alternative to traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes or the classic pipe.
Pouches are small, easy to carry with you, and they dissolve when placed between your teeth and gums. In other words, they’re discreet and can be used at any time in any place. Best of all, they are a great tobacco-free option.
You probably don’t need any more convincing. What you need to know is how to choose your first nicotine pouch.
To start with, assess your pouch options:
Reputation
As nicotine pouches become increasingly popular, you’ll notice a greater number of brands. When choosing pouches, especially as a nicotine introduction, you need to ensure you’re selecting a quality product.
Reputable brands care about their reputation. They take time to improve their public image and deal with any issues. Simply check on social media and forums to see what people are saying about them.
In addition, take a look at your supplier. We offer an array of brands but we know that they are all reputable. It’s not just their reputation that matters, we also care about ours.
Flavour
You’re likely to find this the most challenging part of getting started with nicotine pouches. The array of flavours is breathtaking.
A reputable supplier and brand will offer a wide selection of flavours. The simplest approach here is to choose the flavour you like the sound of the most.
"In addition, it’s a good idea to try a sample pack. This gives you a selection of flavours with a handful of pouches for each flavour."
You need to be a little adventurous but it’s a great way to try as many different flavours as possible and find the ones you really like.
Strength
It’s important to consider the strength of the nicotine when starting pouches. Every packet will display a number showing the strength, one is the weakest.
You’ll want to choose a strength based on your current habits. If you currently smoke a lot, perhaps over a packet a day, you’ll want nicotine pouches at the stronger end of the scale.
Of course, if you’re new to pouches and aren’t a smoker, you’ll want to start with a weaker strength pouch.
Check The Price
Price shouldn’t be an issue but, as you already know, nothing is free in this world. Bigger brands tend to have higher prices. Before you select your favourite pouch to start with, consider the cost.
Sometimes, it’s better to start with a lower-cost brand and get used to your new hobby before you increase your spending.
