Nicotine pouch · Ultra strong, 15 mg/pouch · €0.22 / pouch

Community No ratings yet Be the first

A fresh, well-balanced mojito pouch that's very comfortable under the lip. Taste and comfort are excellent; the flavour just fades a little sooner than the best long-lasting pouches.

Questions

What are nicotine pouches?

Small pouches filled with plant fibre, nicotine and flavourings. Unlike snus they contain no tobacco leaf. They are placed between the gum and the upper lip.

How is the strength of a nicotine pouch measured?

By the amount of nicotine per pouch in milligrams (mg). Many brands also print dots or names like "Strong" on the can, but these follow each brand's own scale and can't be compared across brands. We therefore group every product by mg per pouch into five levels from Low (up to 3 mg) to Ultra strong (more than 13 mg).

How long does the flavour of a pouch last?

It differs a lot between products, which is why we rate it as its own criterion, Longevity. It makes up 20% of our overall score.

Are nicotine pouches harmless?

No. They contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. They are not a smoking cessation aid unless a product is explicitly licensed as one. If you want to quit smoking or nicotine, a doctor or pharmacist can advise you.

Can I buy nicotine pouches in my country?

The rules differ from country to country, and some countries restrict or ban the sale. Please check the law where you live – you are responsible for following it.

Do shops pay for a better position in this ranking?

No. The order is based only on our test score or the community score. Some shop links are affiliate links, but they never influence scores or the order.
