Are nicotine pouches an alternative to smoking and vaping?

Nicotine pouches are one of the fastest-growing nicotine delivery products in the world and it’s easy to understand why. Hands-free and smoke-free they can be used in places where smoking and vaping are taboo and, they can be used in places and on occasions where traditional nicotine products are prohibited.

Designed for adult smokers and nicotine users looking for an alternative nicotine delivery system to tobacco, VELO* nicotine pouches are tiny teabag-like pockets filled with the highest-quality pharmaceutical-grade nicotine polymer, plant-based ingredients, water, flavourings, and sweeteners.

Nicotine pouches are an appealing modern alternative to smoking that has brought nicotine use into the 21st century. One of the biggest benefits of pouches is that they enable adult users to consume nicotine without many of the drawbacks associated with smoking cigarettes. They don’t contain tobacco so you won’t be inhaling smoke, nor will you be left smelling like last night’s dirty ashtray with rancid breath to match.

Although nicotine is found in all tobacco products, it isn’t the direct cause of smoking-related diseases. One of the least harmful nicotine consumption mechanisms around, containing 99% less toxicants** than a cigarette.

VELO nicotine pouches come in a small, pocket-sized can that features a nifty space for discarded pouches. The pouches are inoffensive and undetectable in your mouth so you really can use them pretty much everywhere – on buses, trains and planes, and even in the workplace.

There are three simple steps to using VELO nicotine pouches.

Step 1:     Choose your flavour and nicotine strength.

Step 2:     Twist the can to open it and remove a single pouch.

Step 3:     Tuck the pouch between your upper lip and gum and savour the sensation.

Step 4:     After about 30 minutes you’ll be ready to dispose of the used Velo pouch. Simply remove it from your mouth and pop it into the top compartment of the can, which has been specially designed for this purpose.

Use only one pouch at a time and make sure to tuck it snugly between your upper lip and your gum. You’ll feel a slight tingling sensation as the nicotine in the pouch is slowly released. You can keep the pouch under your lip for 30 minutes – no chewing! – and when you’re done you can bin the used pouch into the dedicated compartment inside the can.

VELO nicotine pouches come in three flavours Polar Mint, Berry Frost and Ruby Berry and three nicotine strengths, easily denoted by the number of dots on the packaging, so you can control the amount of nicotine you consume.

●     Mild – contains 4mg of nicotine per pouch and is perfect for first-time pouch users and those who usually 
 consume nicotine occasionally (look for one dot on the can)
●     Medium – contains 6mg of nicotine per pouch is more robust in flavour than the Mild variant and is suited 
 to those users who prefer a more full-bodied nicotine experience (look for two dots on the can)
●     Strong – contains 10mg of nicotine per pouch and is the strongest in the range for those in search of a 
 punchy balance of flavour and nicotine (look for three dots on the can)

New nicotine pouch users are advised to start off using the lowest nicotine strength to test their tolerance before moving on to the medium and strong options, should they wish to do so.
