Snus, or rather nicotine pouches, have become increasingly popular in Spain lately. Nicotine Pouches are often seen as a healthier alternative to smoking and nicotine pouches have become a popular way for many people to quit smoking. Since they are smoke-free, you can use them anywhere and anytime – at work, after dinner or on public transport. One other reason why they have become popular is that they are way more cheaper than cigarettes. Still you might wonder what is a nicotine pouch? Is it the same thing as snus, or is a whole new thing?
What is a Nicotine Pouch and what is Snus – is it the same thing?
Let’s start with explaining what a nicotine pouch is. Nicotine pouches are white, small pouches that you place under your upper or lower lip. They are usually made of plant-based fibers, stabilizers, salt, flavoring and contain different levels of nicotine. The big difference from the traditional snus is that they do not contain any tobacco. This makes them a viable, legal option and less harmful alternative to smoking. Also, the traditional Swedish is only allowed in Sweden and Norway, while Nicotine Pouches are allowed in most European countries, as well as many other countries around the world. However, most people don’t know the difference. At Nico&Pouch we call it for both Snus and Nicotine Pouches, but the proper name for the products we sell is 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.
