Sales will be paused until further notice due to the Dutch Food Safety Authority's view of nicotine pouches as foodstuffs. Sales will end on April 23rd, 2023. Although challenging the view is an option, GetSnus won't pursue it due to the risks involved. The company thanks its customers and encourages them to visit Pouch Patrol, a campaign site for nicotine pouches in Europe. The announcement ends by thanking customers for their help in raising their voice to the authorities and politicians. We will of course let you know if something in the regulatory landscape will change.
Nicotine pouches are small tea bags that contain nicotine, flavoring, and other ingredients. There are two main types of nicotine pouches: those made with tobacco leaves and those made without tobacco leaves. Tobacco leaf nicotine pouches are also known as "snus" pouches and are native to Sweden. These pouches are placed under the upper lip and deliver nicotine through saliva absorption. Non-tobacco leaf nicotine pouches do not contain tobacco and are sometimes called "nicopods." These pouches are placed between the gum and cheek and deliver nicotine through mucosal absorption.
The amount of nicotine in a pouch can vary depending on the type of pouch and the manufacturer. Tobacco leaf pouches generally have a higher nicotine content than non-tobacco leaf pouches. The nicotine content is also influenced by how long the pouch is kept in the mouth. In general, the longer a pouch is left in the mouth, the more nicotine is absorbed.
Nicotine pouches work by delivering small amounts of nicotine to the body through saliva or mucosal absorption. The amount of time it takes the body to absorb the nicotine from a pouch depends on various factors, including the type of pouch, the nicotine content of the pouch, and how long it is kept in the mouth. In general, it takes longer for tobacco leaf pouches to deliver their nicotine than non-tobacco leaf pouches due to differences in composition and placement.
Nicotine pouches were first introduced in the early 2000s. They were initially only available in a few countries, including Sweden and Finland.
Since their introduction, nicotine pouches have become increasingly popular, especially in Europe and North America. They are now widely available in various flavors and strengths.
To use a nicotine pouch, simply remove it from the packaging and place it between your gum and lip. The nicotine is absorbed through the mucous membranes of your mouth and you will begin to feel the effects within a few minutes.
The effects of a nicotine pouch can last up to 30 minutes, although this will vary depending on how much you use and your individual metabolism.
There is no hard limit on the number of nicotine pouches you can use per day, but most people stick to 1-2 per hour. If you find that you are using more than this, it may be time to cut back or consider quitting altogether.
These side effects are usually mild and disappear after a few minutes. In rare cases, more serious side effects have been reported, such as:
