Nicotine

Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: Nicotine pouches are small, dissolvable pouches containing nicotine, flavorings, sweeteners, and plant-based fibers, but no tobacco. They are placed between the gum and lip, allowing nicotine absorption through the mucous membranes. Several brands exist, including ZYN, On!, and Velo. While marketed by some as a safer alternative to smoking, their long-term health effects are still unknown. The FDA does not regulate them as strictly as other tobacco products. They are addictive and can cause side effects such as gum irritation, sore mouth, hiccups, and nausea. The appealing packaging and flavors raise concerns about attracting young people and non-smokers. There is no evidence to support their use as a safe or effective method for quitting nicotine.
