VELO - Ruby Berry Nicotine Pouches (17mg)

Nicotine pouches are a smoke and tobacco-free nicotine alternative. Created with nicotine, water, flavourings, and sweeteners, pouches also contain plant-based fibres to offer nicotine consumption in a powder form.

Nicotine pouches do not contain harmful chemicals found in tobacco which are known to increase the risk of lung problems, heart disease, or cancer. However, there is currently no long-term research available to highlight the safety and possible effects of nicotine pouches on the body.

Tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals with at least 250 known to be harmful with at least 70 of these chemicals known to cause cancer. Nicotine itself is a substance used within tobacco that is known to be addictive, however, when used separately from tobacco does not cause cancer making it a healthier alternative to smoking.

There is no set guidance as to how many nicotine pouches you can use in a day. The average user will get through around 10 pouches a day, however, this will depend on your nicotine tolerance and the strength of the pouches you're using. If you are noticing adverse effects of pouches we advise stopping use.

Nicotine pouches offer a simple alternative to smoking or vaping. To begin, place a single pouch between your upper lip and gum. You will notice a tingling sensation as the nicotine and flavours are absorbed into your body which is completely normal.

Nicotine pouches and vapes both offer a tobacco-free alternative to smoking cigarettes, with this being said, both would appear to be a safer choice when compared to consuming the chemicals found in traditional tobacco. Deciding which one is best depends on your own preference.

Nicotine pouches generally last for up to 30 minutes, although you can keep them in longer you will notice minimal nicotine and flavour after this point. You should keep nicotine pouches in for as long as you experience nicotine and flavour, when this has passed dispose of the pouch responsibly.

Although they are placed in the mouth, nicotine pouches are intended to offer a gradual release of nicotine and are not intended to chew. If you chew a nicotine pouch the ingredients may be released completely, if done by accident avoid swallowing and discard the pouch.

Nicotine pouches differ from Snus as they do not contain tobacco. Pouches offer a tobacco-free and legal alternative to Snus and are made with a combination of nicotine, water, flavourings, and sweeteners, whilst also containing plant-based fibres.

No, nicotine pouches are intended for single use only. Although you may remove a pouch early, it's not advised to continue using a pouch once it has been removed from your mouth and stored due to sanitary reasons.

Unlike Snus which was banned throughout the UK in 1992 under The Tobacco for Oral Use (Safety) Regulations, nicotine pouches are legal in the UK by offering a tobacco-free nicotine alternative. However, it's important to note that only pouches without tobacco are currently legal.

It is not advised to eat or drink when you have a pouch inserted in your mouth as this could cause a choking hazard. Certain ingredients in beverages or food could also react with the pouch which could cause issues that are best avoided.
