“The best-kept secret in tobacco control seems to be smoke-free oral tobacco and nicotine. In Sweden, snus use has decreased cigarette smoking prevalence to as low as 5%, compared to the European Union average of 26%.”

What Is It?

Oral Nicotine Pouches represent the next generation in smokeless, tobacco-free nicotine products. People trying to quit cigarettes, but who like the effect of nicotine or may simply want to prevent those around them from inhaling second-hand smoke, may consider using these products. These tiny, white, permeable nicotine pouches contain nicotine, along with food-grade fillers, salt, water, and they come in different flavours.

Benefits:

  • Low-risk oral nicotine product.
  • Highly effective way of quitting cigarettes.
  • Eliminates second-hand smoke.

Case Study

“The Swedish government has implemented policies that support harm reduction strategies – such as incentivising smokers to switch to alternatives through the way that harm-reduced products are regulated and taxed. Such policies, alongside public health initiatives highlighting the relative safety of alternatives compared to cigarettes, has contributed to their widespread acceptance and use of harmreduced products, notably snus, as smokeless tobacco alternatives.”

How Is It Used?

The user places the pouch in the mouth between the gum and cheek. No combustion is involved. Once in place, the saliva and general moistness of the mouth work to release the nicotine into the system. After use, the pouch is usually discarded into the disposable compartment of the can. It does not require refrigeration. Unlike vaping products, it requires no batteries.
