Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are small, white packets designed to give you nicotine without using tobacco. They’re placed under your lip and dissolve slowly. But what’s inside them? Let’s break it down:
- Nicotine: This is the main ingredient. It’s extracted from tobacco plants but purified to remove all the other chemicals you’d find in cigarettes.
- Plant Fibers: These act as the base of the pouch. They give it shape and make it soft and comfortable to hold under your lip.
- Flavors: To make them taste good, companies add flavors like mint, berry, or citrus. This is what makes the pouches enjoyable for most users.
- Sweeteners: These help mask any bitterness from the nicotine.
- pH Balancers: These adjust the acidity so your body can absorb the nicotine efficiently.
That’s it—no tobacco, no smoke, and no harmful chemicals like tar. These pouches are made to be a cleaner alternative for people looking to use nicotine without traditional tobacco products. However, they still contain nicotine, which can be addictive, so they should only be used by adults and kept out of reach of children.
