With smokeless tobacco and nicotine products such as snus, chewing bags and nicotine pouches, the nicotine is absorbed directly through the oral mucosa.
How do I use snus? That’s a good question – Just follow these three simple steps:
1) Take out a portion from your can, some people also prefer to lightly squeeze the portion into a shape that suits them best.
2) Place the portion under your upper lip (this principle is the same for snus, chewing bags and tobacco free nicotine pouches). Preferably slightly on the side, left or right doesn’t matter, choose the side that feels the most comfortable for you. You don’t need to chew on the portion since the flavor and nicotine are released naturally. You also don’t have to spit out saliva as you have to with e.g., American chewing tobacco.
3) Enjoy! You can keep the pouch in your mouth as long as your comfortable with, or when the release of flavor and nicotine has stopped. This usually takes about 15-60 minutes depending on brand and portion type.
When you’re done with the portion, discreetly remove it from your mouth and dispose it in the nearest trash can. If there isn’t one nearby, you can place the portion under the lid on the can that is designed for temporarily storage of used portions.
Snus, chewing bags and tobacco free nicotine pouches are smokeless and discreet alternatives perfect to enjoy when you can’t or don’t want to smoke.
