Nicotine pouches: Are they safer than chewing, smoking or vaping?
A new flavored nicotine product is increasing in popularity – oral nicotine pouches and lozenges.
This product is placed between the cheek and gum. They do not contain tobacco, but they do contain nicotine, flavorings, sweeteners and plant-based fibers. Killapods Snus popular brand names include Zyn Spearmint Light, On! and VELO FREEZE, and they come in colorful packaging that looks like mint containers.
Although advertising may make it look convenient and appealing, it’s important to know that these products deliver varying amounts of the addictive chemical nicotine, which can negatively impact your learning, attention span and proneness to addiction.
Are nicotine pouches safer than chewing, smoking or vaping?
The long-term health impact of nicotine pouches is still unknown. They are not technically categorized as smokeless tobacco, so the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate them as strictly as smoked tobacco products or combustible tobacco. Without long-term data, we cannot be certain if or how reduced exposure will prevent harm to one’s health.
Side effects of use can include:
Irritation of the gums
Sore mouth
Hiccups
Nausea

Are nicotine pouches a safe approach to quitting nicotine dependence?
There is no data to show nicotine pouches as a safe or effective way to quit. University Health Center medical experts and Nebraska Medicine certified tobacco treatment specialist Jill Selzle, PA, do not recommend these products.
If someone is already using nicotine pouches and has been able to quit tobacco, we suggest weaning off them for full nicotine freedom. Approved short-term nicotine replacement therapies include:
Nicotine patches
Gum
Lozenges
Nasal spray
Nicotine inhaler
