What is nicotine? All facts
Would you like to find out more about this natural substance? Nicotine is found in nature and has addictive properties that primarily affect the brain and body when consumed. Here is an exciting fact to help you better understand the substance and the effects of nicotine: Did you know, for example, that nicotine is one of the ingredients in plants of the nightshade family? These include tomatoes, eggplants and potatoes.
Is nicotine addictive?
In short, yes, nicotine is an addictive substance. Different types of consumption can cause varying degrees of nicotine dependence. These include smoked tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco), vaporisers and tobacco heaters (disposable e-cigarettes and e-liquids), nicotine replacement patches and chewing gum and tobacco-free nicotine pouches.
Nicotine in VELO nicotine pouches
Wondering how VELO nicotine pouches are made? VELO nicotine pouches are manufactured to high quality standards in our factories in Europe1. These tobacco-free nicotine products contain the following high-quality ingredients:
- Water
- Plant-based materials
- Flavourings
- Sweeteners
- Pharmaceutical grade nicotine
VELO nicotine pouches come in a variety of nicotine levels, sizes and flavours – for adult tobacco and nicotine consumers who are looking for an alternative convenient way to consume nicotine.
Nicotine pouches in different nicotine concentrations
Now that the nicotine in the VELO pouches is no longer a secret to you, you may be wondering how we produce the different concentrations. What makes the nicotine strength different?
With VELO nicotine pouches, a lower concentration means less pharmaceutical-grade nicotine. Stronger options, such as our 17 mg/ml nicotine pouches, contain more nicotine than e.g. 6 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml or 14 mg/ml. Learn more about the nicotine concentration of VELO nicotine pouches in our guide to nicotine concentrations.
How the VELO points system works
We use a nicotine calculator that displays the nicotine level in points. The fewer dots on the can, the less nicotine it contains. This allows you to recognise immediately how mild or strong a product is.
