How to Use Nicotine Pouches: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re new to nicotine pouches, donât worry â using them is super easy. Whether youâre switching from smoking, vaping, or just exploring tobacco-free alternatives, this step-by-step guide will help you get started with confidence.
Letâs walk through exactly how to use nicotine pouches, what to expect, and how to get the most out of each one.
DISCLAIMER: Nicotine is an addictive substance and nicotine pouches are only recommended as a tool to stop smoking or using other nicotine products that might expose you to a higher health risk. Nicotine is harmful to your cardiovascular health.Â
Step 1: Choose Your Nicotine Strength
Before popping in a pouch, itâs important to pick the right nicotine strength for your needs. Most brands (like Whitelip) offer a range of strengths, such as:
- Low (2â4 mg): Perfect for beginners or light users
- Medium (6â8 mg): Ideal for regular users
- Strong (10â12 mg): Best for experienced users or those switching from smoking
Tip: If youâre unsure, start with a lower strength and adjust over time. Preferably do not start at all, nicotine is an addictive substance and affects your heart and vascular health, especially with long time use.
Step 2: Take One Pouch From the Can
Nicotine pouches come in a small can, similar to snus. Just open the lid and take out a single pouch. Each pouch is pre-portioned, clean, and ready to use â no cutting, measuring, or prep needed.
Make sure your hands are clean before handling the pouch.
Step 3: Place the Pouch Under Your Upper Lip
Tuck the pouch gently between your upper lip and gum â either to the left or right side, depending on what feels most comfortable. You donât need to chew or suck on it. Just let it sit there.
You may feel a slight tingling or cooling sensation at first â this is totally normal and usually fades after a few minutes.
Step 4: Keep the Pouch in for Up to 60 Minutes
You can keep the pouch in for anywhere between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on your personal preference and the brandâs recommendation. Most people use it for around 30 minutes.
During this time:
- Youâll slowly absorb nicotine through your gum
- You can go about your day â no spitting, smoking, or smell
- Youâll enjoy a steady nicotine experience with minimal fuss
Step 5: Dispose of the Used Pouch
When you’re done, simply remove the pouch and throw it in the trash. Most cans also include a small compartment in the lid for used pouches â a discreet and odor-free way to store them until you find a bin.
Never swallow, reuse, or flush the pouch.
Bonus Tips for First-Time Users
- Stay hydrated â dry mouth can reduce absorption
- Donât use more than one pouch at a time
- Store your can in a cool, dry place to keep the pouches fresh
- Switch up flavors if you want to avoid âflavor fatigueâ
Final Thoughts
Nicotine pouches are one of the simplest and most discreet ways to enjoy nicotine. No lighter, no charger, no smell â just pop it under your lip and go.
