What are nicotine pouches?
Nicotine pouches are small, discreet products made with pharmaceutical-grade nicotine polymer, plant-based ingredients, flavourings, and sweeteners. You use them by placing one between your lip and gum, where it releases nicotine for up to 30 minutes.
Why do people choose nicotine pouches? They deliver nicotine through the gums—no heat, no smoke*, no vapour. VELO pouches come in a range of strengths and formats (Slim and Mini), and in mint and fruit flavours to suit different preferences.

What’s the difference between nicotine pouches and smoking?
There are clear differences in how nicotine pouches and cigarettes are used - and what they contain. There are also differences in what’s consumed when smoking a cigarette, vaping and using nicotine pouches.
Nicotine in a VELO pouch? Unexpected. No smoke smell*? A bonus.
Nicotine pouches vs smoking
Cigarettes contain tobacco, nicotine, tar, and other chemicals. In contrast, Nicotine pouches are made with pharmaceutical-grade nicotine polymer, plant-based materials, flavourings, and sweeteners. VELO pouches also contain 99% fewer toxicants than cigarettes**.
Cigarettes are lit and inhaled, while nicotine pouches are tucked between the lip and gum, releasing nicotine gradually over 30 minutes.
Nicotine pouches versus vaping
Both nicotine pouches and vapes are tobacco-free options. However, they’re used differently. Vapes heat liquid to create vapour that’s inhaled, while pouches deliver nicotine through the gum - no heat or vapour involved.
Both come in a variety of strengths and flavours, giving consumers flexibility based on their preferences.
Nicotine pouches vs snus
Interested in the differences between nicotine pouches and snus? Both are placed between the lip and gum, but snus contains tobacco and is not legal to buy or sell in the UK.
Nicotine pouches, on the other hand, are tobacco-free and widely available.
Can you smoke or vape after using a nicotine pouch?
Nicotine pouches are available in different strengths to suit individual needs. Most people choose one method of nicotine delivery - either pouches, vaping, or smoking.
If you feel your current pouch isn’t strong enough, consider switching to a higher strength rather than combining it with smoking or vaping. VELO high-strength nicotine pouches include Ultra (14mg) and Max (17mg) options for experienced users.
