Can Flavors Affect Nicotine Strength of Nicotine Pouches

The nicotine strength in pouches is determined by the amount of nicotine contained in each pouch. Flavors do not impact the level of nicotine in the pouch in terms of the milligrams (mg) content.  However, the flavor itself can affect the perceived strength of the nicotine. Flavors can play a role in how strong a nicotine pouch may feel. Mint and menthol flavors can intensify how strong a nicotine pouch can feel, while flavors like cinnamon, berry, or unflavored may not feel as strong when compared side by side. For example, a 6mg nicotine pouch in a strong mint flavor may make the pouch feel stronger, while a 6mg pouch in a sweet flavor may not feel as strong in comparison.
