Are Nicotine Pouches Safe

Nicotine pouches are considered safe for use in the UK. While the long-term health impacts are still unknown, comparative to smoking they deliver considerably less harmful chemicals into the body, being comprised of only nicotine powder and flavourings. They require no combustion and are tobacco-free.

For adults looking for a nicotine alternative that no longer requires inhaling anything, nicotine pouches could even be considered safer than vaping, as they are simply placed in the mouth without impacting the lungs.

As with any nicotine product it is always best to seek the advice of your GP if you have any doubts before starting to use nicotine pouches. They can help you make a plan for quitting smoking that is suited to your needs.
