Nicotine pouches have gained massive popularity in recent years as a modern, discreet, and smoke-free alternative to traditional tobacco products. Whether you’re looking to cut down on cigarettes, avoid the lingering smell of smoke, or explore cleaner nicotine experiences, nicotine pouches offer an effective solution.
If you’re new to nicotine pouches, you might be wondering: How do they work? Where should I place them? How long do they last? In this complete guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about how to use nicotine pouches correctly and safely, plus introduce you to Nioo Labs—a trusted innovator in the pouch industry.
What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches are small, white, tobacco-free pouches that contain nicotine, plant-based fibers, flavoring, and a small amount of sweetener. Unlike traditional chewing tobacco or snus, nicotine pouches are 100% tobacco-free and designed to be placed discreetly between your gum and upper lip.
These pouches gradually release nicotine into your bloodstream via the lining of your mouth, allowing you to experience the effects without inhaling smoke or vapor. No spitting, no staining, no ash—just pure nicotine satisfaction.

Using nicotine pouches is easy, but using them correctly can improve your experience. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

Tip for beginners: Start with a lower strength (e.g., 4mg or 6mg) to assess your sensitivity before moving to stronger options.
Step 2: Take One Pouch from the Can
Nicotine pouches typically come in a small, compact can that fits easily in your pocket or bag. Open the lid and take out one pouch. No shaking, tearing, or preparation required.
At Nioo Labs, our cans feature a sleek design and built-in used pouch compartment for easy disposal.
Step 3: Place the Pouch Between Your Gum and Upper Lip
Lift your upper lip slightly and place the pouch on either the left or right side of your gum, between the gum and the inside of your lip.
Pro Tip: Avoid placing it directly in the center as it may be less comfortable.
Once in position, gently press the pouch with your finger to ensure it stays put. You’ll feel a subtle tingling sensation—this is completely normal and indicates the nicotine is being released.
Step 4: Keep It In for 15–60 Minutes
Nicotine pouches can be left in place for up to an hour, depending on your preference. Most users find that 20 to 30 minutes is the sweet spot.
The flavor and nicotine strength will slowly release over time. You don’t need to chew or suck on the pouch—just let it rest passively. The pouch remains white and dry, without creating excess saliva or mess.
Step 5: Remove and Dispose of the Pouch
Once you’re done, gently remove the pouch and either:
Place it in the top compartment of your can (if it includes a disposal lid), or Throw it in the trash.
Never swallow or flush nicotine pouches.
How Often Should You Use Nicotine Pouches?
How frequently you use nicotine pouches depends on your own nicotine needs and tolerance. As a general guideline:
Light users may use 1–3 pouches per day.
Moderate users may use 4–6.
Heavy users may use more, but should monitor for overuse symptoms.
Listen to your body and avoid excessive intake. If you’re using pouches as a way to quit smoking or vaping, consider gradually reducing your usage over time.
Tips for First-Time Users
Here are a few additional pointers to enhance your nicotine pouch experience:
Stay hydrated: Dry mouth is a common side effect. Drinking water can help.
Alternate placement sides: Switch between left and right gums to avoid irritation.
Don’t chew: Nicotine pouches are not chewing tobacco.
Store properly: Keep your pouches in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Common FAQs
Q1: Can I swallow the nicotine pouches?
No. Nicotine pouches are not meant to be swallowed. Always dispose of them after use.
Q2: Are nicotine pouches safe?
Nicotine pouches are generally considered a safer alternative to smoking or vaping since they don’t involve combustion or inhalation. However, they still contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance.
Q3: Will it stain my teeth?
Because they’re tobacco-free and dry, high-quality pouches (like those from Nioo Labs) are less likely to stain teeth compared to traditional snus or tobacco products.
Q4: Can I use them on a flight or in public places?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of nicotine pouches is that they are smoke-free and odorless. You can use them discreetly in most public settings, including flights—though it’s always best to check with the airline.
