HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WHITE SNUS FOR BEGINNERS?

A new way
to absorb nicotine

Unlike smoking and vaping, nicotine is not released through the lungs, but directly on contact with the gums. The pleasure felt in the throat when inhaling smoke from a traditional cigarette or vapor from an e-cigarette, known as the "hit", is felt in a similar way: it's called the "kick". The higher the nicotine dosage, the greater the Kick.

Tingling sensation: temporary only

For beginners, this new mode of consumption requires a short period of adaptation, usually a few uses. If you are using white snus (also known as nicotine pouches or white snus) for the first time, you may feel a slight burning or tingling sensation. This is perfectly normal, as your body is not used to consuming nicotine in this way. To alleviate this phenomenon, we recommend that you change the location of your white snus under the lip, or drink a little water.

Dosages and strengths

Each manufacturer of white snus proposes a specific nicotine content for the products they offer, which is why there are a multitude of different dosages. To make things easier for you, we've decided to think in terms of milligrams of nicotine per pouch. However, these very many dosages can be grouped into five main families, which we call Strengths. There are five nicotine strengths, from the weakest to the strongest: X-Light, Light, Medium, Strong, X-Strong.

Nicotine pouches for beginners:
choose the right strength

To "gently" reach the nicotine level that corresponds to your needs, without feeling the slight tingling under the lip during the body's (short) adaptation phase, manufacturers and user testimonials from white snus recommend:
- For an "average" smoker: start by using a low dosage between 1 and 4 mg/pouch (found in the X-Light and Light categories of our store), even if it means consuming a lot of nicotine. pouchesthen gradually increase the dosage while reducing the number of cigarettes used. pouches
- For "heavy" smokers: adopt the same approach, but start with a Medium dosage (around 6 mg/pouch).

Nicotine pouches dry or standard?

These offer instant diffusion of flavors and nicotine, compared with "Dry" type products, which require moistening on contact with the gums to begin smoking. pouches Dry" type, which require moistening on contact with the gums to start releasing flavors.
