What are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches have hit a rich vein of acquiring new users in Australia. The growth of nicotine pouches in Australia is down to a mixture of both social media and curiosity around nicotine alternatives to vaping and smoking.

These little pouches do wonders for those that prefer a cleaner way to consume nicotine to using traditional forms like tobacco. Fears around potential health complications due to vaping also play a significant role in Australians considering transitioning to alternative products.

Nicotine pouches are made from plant based fillers, water, flavouring, and synthetic nicotine. The ingredients are packed into small pouches that sit between the gum and upper lip, and dispense nicotine through the buccal mucosa (inner lining of the mouth). The uptake time of nicotine is constant and balanced, and does not negatively effect the cardiovascular system, unlike using smoking products. As there is no tobacco, nicotine pouches also circumvent complications tobacco can potentially cause.

Are Nicotine Pouches Snus?

Nicotine pouches are often referred to as snus. This unfortunate correlation does cause some confusion among users, and media. Snus is illegal in most countries outside of Sweden, due to the use of tobacco in the pouches. The key difference between snus and nicotine pouches is: Nicotine pouches contain synthetic nicotine and no tobacco, snus contains tobacco for nicotine.

Are Nicotine Pouches Legal in Australia?

Yes, nicotine pouches are legal in Australia. They are only legal to purchase through the personal importation scheme. Many Australians order nicotine pouches online through various websites. Customs do intercept packages and sometimes will confiscate them if customers do not have a valid prescription to import nicotine pouches. At The Snus King, we offer a service to support Australians with ordering pouches by offering nicotine pouch prescriptions as a referral with a registered prescriber.

Do Nicotine Pouches Feel The Same As Smoking?

Smoking and vaping are faster forms of nicotine consumption in terms of uptake time. Because smoking enters nicotine through the lungs, the effects of nicotine can be felt faster. Nicotine pouches use a slower, but less invasive form of nicotine distribution into the system. Uptake time is dependent on the strength of the pouches you are using. The results are a more balanced, and cleaner way of consuming nicotine. Pouches are known to be a much safer way to consume nicotine than traditional smoking, and vaping.

How to Use Nicotine Pouches

As with any product, to get the best results it is important to utilise best practices. One of the most overlooked factors in nicotine pouches in Australia is the time they should be used for. This is coupled with buying the correct strength, and flavours, to suit personal preference.

Step One: Loading

Most people load nicotine pouches on the left side of their mouth, but nicotine pouches can be loaded to either side. They can also be loaded at the top, or bottom of the mouth, depending on personal preference. There is more moisture in the top of the mouth, so most opt to use the top, where pouches are generally shaped to be used. Ultimately, a pouch should be loaded where it feels most comfortable to you.

Step Two: Duration of Usage

Pouches should be used for between 30-40 minutes. This ensures that all the nicotine is extracted from the pouch into the system. Many users only keep a nicotine pouch in for 5 minutes at a time. The nicotine uptake time is generally between three and five minutes before the full effects begin to be felt. So, not only is it a waste to not use pouches for the full time, but it means having to use them more frequently. To keep the costs down of using nicotine, you should keep your pouch in for the maximum time to extract the full effects of the nicotine.

Step Three: Discard Safely

Noone like trash on the street! Most cans have a space at the top of the can to place discarded pouches. As most will hold around five pouches before being full, there is enough space to find a bin and discard your trash later. The cans are designed for your pouches to be as discreet as possible.

Using nicotine pouches is relaxing, and can improve mental clarity, focus, and reduce stress. Proper usage is key to nicotine pouch enjoyment, and different people will interact differently with them. For more information you should read our full guide on how to use nicotine pouches.

Why Choose Nicotine Pouches in Australia

The benefits of nicotine pouches far outweight the negatives. One of the only recorded negatives is the fact that nicotine is addictive. Nicotine addiction is real, and true that pouches can be addictive. There should be a very real consideration for new users, whether or not they are right for you. For people that have been smoking, or vaping, nicotine pouches can be a god send. There are various benefits for current smokers, or vapers. But, for those that have not used nicotine products before, you run the risk of becoming addicted to nicotine through the use of pouches. We decades of collective use in our team and welcome questions or enquiries about the use of pouches. Please contact us with any questions.

Cost Benefits of Nicotine Pouches in Australia

Australia has seen the cost of cigarettes sky-rocket in recent years. Despite vaping becoming a viable financial alternative, rising costs and limited availability has forced vapers look for alternatives, again. Nicotine pouches are a fraction of the cost dollar to dollar and so offer a sustainable way of consuming nicotine without breaking the bank. At nearly $50 for a pack of twenty cigarettes, nicotine pouches are a snip that provides users with more nicotine, for less money.

Cleaner & Safer for Australia

Nicotine pouches are much cleaner for the body than other forms of nicotine consumption. The pouches are fashioned in such a way that they are able to be thrown in a bin, causing less harm to the environment.

No Tobacco, Clean Nicotine

Tobacco has been villanised by many, but nicotine itself is not deemed to have any negative effects to the human body other than being an addictive substance. Quantify that against other forms of addiction in terms of coffee, sugar, and (with humour) the gym! Before you know it you will realise that nicotine has had an unfair lable because of its connotations to traditional smoking, for years.

Buying Nicotine Pouches Australia

Australia has had rulings about the importation of nicotine pouches since 2021. Much of the country has been left in the dark about how to legally buy nicotine pouches in Australia due to the confusion between snus and nicotine pouches. With nicotine pouches referred to as snus, most can be forgiven for not fully understanding the differences in importation rules. Most European websites also market nicotine pouches named as its illegal cousins, snus. But, at The Snus King we only sell legal snus. As such, you can be sure that what you are ordering is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and sourced by our expert procurement team. We stock some of the most popular brands in the world in CUBA, VELO, Zyn, and Pablo.

Our customers understand the rules surrounding importation of pouches to the country, we do too. We have been successfully delivering to Australia for a number of years, and continue to offer the highest service online.

Choosing The Right Nicotine Pouch Strengths in Australia

Strength can be a contentious subject when it comes to ordering nicotine pouches. Some time ago, the higher the strength, typically the higher the price. In the mid 2020's that has changed somewhat, with even the highest strengths often being the same price as the lighter pouches. With costs similar, many people still opt for ordering the strongest nicotine pouches they can find! There are factors to consider in order to achieve a successful marriage with the right strength for you. And, choosing the right strength ensures sustainable enjoyment while using pouches.

Understand Your Tolerance to Nicotine Pouches

For first-time users, serendipitously stumbling across the right strength for their tolerance level is unlikely. Current smokers, or vapers at high mg strength levels may find that they need a higher strength in order to feel the effects as expected. For example, anyone using a 50mg vaping device that orders a 6mg nicotine pouch may find the effects nonexistent. To match the nicotine strength level, they may need to use something upwards of 15mg to obtain a similar buzz.

Understand MG per Pouch & MG

The majority of nicotine pouch brands show the total strength of nicotine used in manufacturing. The nicotine strength level is the strength of the synthetic nicotine used in manufacturing the product. But, the mg per pouch is representative of the total amount of nicotine in that particular pouch. So, understanding the difference between the two will give you a better understanding of which products may suit you best. The per pouch mg is more likely to be better representative of vaping strengths.

Nicotine Pouch Uptake Time

Typically the higher the strength level, the faster the nicotine hit occurs. No pouches can match the speed of traditional cigarettes or vaping due to the method of delivery. But, the higher strength pouches hit fast, and if you have not used pouches at that strength level you can find yourself getting lightheadedness or headaches. It is important to transition between strengths gradually, so the nicotine uptake time is balanced and your body can deal with the effects of the nicotine.
