Are nicotine pouches different from Tobacco Products?
In the ever-changing landscape of nicotine consumption, a new product has appeared: nicotine pouches. But how do these modern products compare with the many traditional tobacco products available? Let's find out what makes nicotine sachets different from tobacco products.
What are Tobacco Products?
Tobacco products encompass a broad category of consumables derived from the tobacco plant. These products often contain nicotine and are generally associated with smoking.
Traditional tobacco products include cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, heated tobacco and smokeless tobacco, such as chewing tobacco and snuff.
Unlike snus, VELO nicotine pouches do not contain tobacco. They are therefore different from traditional tobacco products and are an alternative to smoking*.
