Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the Can

Nicotine pouches come in round cans, usually containing 15–20 pouches. Choose your desired flavor and strength.

2. Take One Pouch Out

Pick a single pouch and make sure it’s intact. It should feel soft and dry.

3. Place It Under Your Upper Lip

Slide the pouch between your gum and upper lip on either side — don’t place it in the center or on the lower lip. You can talk normally while it’s in.

4. Keep It in Place (20–60 Minutes)

You’ll feel a tingling or burning sensation in the first 5–10 minutes. That’s the nicotine activating.
You don’t need to chew or suck — just leave it in place and let it work.

Most users keep the pouch for:

Up to 60 minutes (experienced users)

20–30 minutes (light users)

5. Dispose of It Responsibly

Throw the used pouch in a bin. Many cans include a special compartment in the lid to store used pouches when you’re on the go.

Beginner Tips for Best Experience

1- Start with low strength: 4 mg or less is best for first-time users

2- Avoid caffeine or spicy food just before using

3- Don’t move the pouch around in your mouth — this can irritate the gums

4- Drink water after use to stay hydrated

How Often Can You Use Them?

There’s no fixed rule, but nicotine pouches are typically used:

• Every 1–2 hours for moderate users
• Up to 6–8 pouches/day is considered safe by most brands

Your usage depends on:

• Your current nicotine tolerance
• Whether you’re switching from smoking
• The strength of the pouches

• Tobacco-free

Used pouches can carry bacteria if left in open spaces.
