Advantages and disadvantages of nicotine patches and nicotine products pouches

NICOTINE PATCHES AND NICOPODS

In this article, Nicopouches reviews the advantages and disadvantages of nicotine patches, and compares them with nicopods* (also known as tobacco-free snus ) from a smoking cessation perspective.

WHAT ARE NICOTINE PATCHES FOR SMOKING CESSATION?

Like chewing gum, lozenges, e-cigarette eliquids and, of course, nicotine pouches(also known as tobacco-free Snus 2.0), patches are among the nicotine substitutes available on the market. Nicotine patches differ both in form and method of use. They are used dermally, i.e. in contact with the skin, to release and diffuse the nicotine they contain. They are currently one of the oldest and most popular nicotine replacement products, for a number of reasons.

THE BENEFITS OF NICOTINE PATCHES

• They are not subject to a medical prescription and can be purchased without a prescription.
• They deliver nicotine over a very long period (several hours at least)
• They can be very discreet, as they can be worn under clothing.
• They break the smoker's body language

THE DISADVANTAGES OF NICOTINE PATCHES

Although they have definite advantages, nicotine patches do have their drawbacks. 

• For example, patches can cause itching and even redness if worn too often on the same part of the body. It is therefore necessary to vary the location of the patches very frequently (with each new use) to prevent this inconvenience.
• Patches must be applied to clean, dry, hair-free skin, otherwise the patch may come off unexpectedly.
• Patches are also sensitive to perspiration, which can degrade their adhesion and therefore their nicotine delivery potential, leading to nicotine cravings.
• They are expensive (on average €6 to €8 for a can of seven nicotine patches).
• The variety of dosages is fairly limited and does not really allow for personalized consumption for smoking cessation based on nicotine needs.

AVOID THE SIDE EFFECTS OF PATCHES WITH WHITE SNUS

Snus 2.0, also known as white snus or pouch nicotine, provides an answer to the drawbacks of nicotine patches, without neglecting their positive aspects.

• Firstly, in a society where the role of tobacco is increasingly criticized (tobacco is responsible for almost a third of cancers and is the leading cause of avoidable death (75,000 tobacco-related deaths in France every year), nicopods are just as discreet as patches. Perfectly invisible when placed under the lip, they allow you to satisfy your occasional nicotine needs without being noticed.
• pouches nicotine is available in a wide range of dosages, allowing you to tailor your intake of pouches nicopods to help you quit smoking.
• They do not irritate the skin
• The kick reminds smokers of the sensation of cigarette smoke in the throat to make the transition from tobacco products to snus 2.0 easier.
• The pouches nicotine patches are available with or without flavours, which is what many people are looking for when they quit smoking, and what patches cannot provide.

SNUS 2.0 TO HELP YOU STOP SMOKING
