Snus and Nicotine pouches have recently become very popular in Europe, and in particular in Ireland. And we are very happy that more and more Irish customers are also finding their way to Nico&Pouch!
Below we will go through some of the basics around Nicotine pouches in general and take a look at some of the most popular pouches right now.Let us start with explaining what a nicotine pouch is.
What is a Nicotine Pouch?
Perhaps you are new to nicotine pouches. So let’s take it from the top. The Nicotine pouch was invented in Sweden a few years ago by and are small, white pouches that are typically placed under your upper ( it also works under your lower lip as well). The pouches consist of plant-based fibres, stabilisers, salt, flavourings, and various amounts of nicotine. Unlike the traditional Swedish snus, they don’t contain any tobacco, this makes nicotine pouches less harmful (and a legal option) for individuals looking to cut down on or stop smoking.
Traditional Swedish snus contains tobacco and is therefore restricted to Sweden and Norway, whereas nicotine pouches are allowed to use in the majority of European nations, and numerous other countries globally. Nonetheless, most individuals aren’t aware of this distinction. At Nico&Pouch, we refer to the products as both Snus and Nicotine Pouches, although Nicotine Pouches is the accurate term for what we offer. But the most important part is that all our products are tobacco free and therefore both legal and less harmful than tobacco products.
Many people use nicotine pouches as an alternative to smoking, and are using nicotine pouches when trying to quit smoking.They have also proved themselves of being quite effective. Sweden has one of the lowest smoking rates in the world. In global statistics, Sweden is almost considered a smoke-free nation. Several researchers claim that this is largely due to Sweden's tradition of using snus and nicotine pouches. In Sweden, almost 30% of the adult population uses snus or nicotine pouches.
Besides being a great alternative to smoking, the smoke-free nature of nicotine pouches allows you to use them anywhere – at the office, following a meal, or while using public transport – and at any time. Additionally, they are significantly less expensive than cigarettes. A single can of pouches can potentially last several days and cost half the price of a packet of cigarettes (based on Swedish pricing).
Zyn and Velo – the most popular nicotine pouch brands in Ireland.
Over the last years the market has more or less exploded and you can see new nicotine pouch brands from Sweden and Europe popping up. At Nico&Pouch we sell only Swedish brands that are made with high quality ingredients and made under strict production processes. Zan and Velo are still the most popular brands. But new brands are coming. Below we have made a short introduction to Velo and Zyn.
ZYN – The original nicotine pouch brand
When it comes to snus and nicotine pouches, one of the biggest and oldest companies is Swedish Match. They have a long history of creating snus and started to produce ZYN as their first nicotine pouch brand. Years after its introduction, ZYN is still one of the leading brands on the global market. They are known for their high-quality ingredients, refreshing flavours, and long-lasting flavour release. Besides their innovative range of “dry” nicotine pouches, ZYN offers a big variety of flavours, sizes and nicotine strengths. This wide variety of pouches makes them a popular choice among both experienced users and newbies. Buy Zyn Nicotine Pouches
Velo – Innovative top brand
Velo is another brand that has been around since the start (well, almost. They where actually called Lyft when they first entered the market) Lately many people have also started to recognize the name Velo from the side panels of McLaren’s Formula one cars. But besides sponsoring formula 1, they are one of the great producers of Nicotine pouches and compete against Zyn for the title of being No1 in the world.
The brand gained traction quickly after launch among consumers around the world – mainly due to their commitment to quality, innovation, and wide product range. With a focus on delivering a great experience, Velo offers a wide range of flavors and strengths to cater to individual preferences. As a result, Velo has swiftly carved out its own part of the market, attracting a dedicated following of users seeking a smoke-free way to enjoy nicotine. Buy Velo Nicotine Pouches

Risks of Using Nicotine Pouches
While nicotine pouches are a safer, tobacco-free alternative to smoking, they are not without risks. Nicotine is an addictive substance, and regular use of nicotine pouches can lead to dependence. There are also concerns that nicotine pouches may raise a person’s heart rate and blood pressure. A recent study by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment found that there are risks of nicotine exposure to certain groups because of its addictive nature. The study concluded that switching from cigarettes to nicotine pouches could represent a reduction in the health risk for a person who smokes, if they stop completely. But please be careful and use nicotine pouches on a moderate level.

As Swedes, we are quite proud of this small but great innovation that has helped thousands of people of quit smoking.
Tried and tested
Like many other Swedes, our history with nicotine pouches goes a long way back. In fact, it began long before the nicotine pouch was even invented. Then, just like now, that product we used was called snus. Like the nicotine pouch, snus has a lot of nicotine in it, but is based on tobacco (and therefore may not be sold outside of Sweden). In 2014 the nicotine pouch was launched. The nicotine pouches proved to have many advantages over the traditional snus – no stains on the teeth, no bad breath to name a few. We, like many others, decided to give up snus and switch to nicotine pouches. So, over the years we at Nico&Pouch have learned a thing or two about snus and nicotine pouches. The selection of pouches we sell have all been tried by us.
