What are nicotine pouches (snus)?

Nicotine pouches – often simply called "snus" – are small, white pouches that you place under your upper lip. They contain no tobacco, but pure nicotine, flavor, and a fine portion of freshness. No smoke, no odor – instead, they are discreet, clean, and easy to use.

The effect kicks in after a few minutes – gentle and focusing. No exaggerated kick like with an energy drink, but a clear boost for concentration or relaxation.

The biggest beginner mistake

⚠️ Caution

Many beginners believe: the more mg of nicotine, the better. This is a misconception. Strong varieties with over 20 mg can cause dizziness, nausea, or heart palpitations the first time. It really doesn't have to be.

💡 Our Tip for Beginners

Start with mild varieties under 10 mg/g. This way you'll gently get to know the effect and can increase it later if needed. For starters: less is more.

🎯 Which strength suits you?

Click on your experience – we recommend the appropriate strength.

Complete Beginner

Never consumed nicotine before

4–6 mg

Ex-smoker / Occasional smoker

Familiar with nicotine, but not daily use

6–10 mg

Active Smoker

Daily cigarettes or vape

10–14 mg

Experienced Snus User

Already consumed other nicotine products

14–17 mg

How to use snus correctly – here's how it works

Prepare lip area

Before inserting the pouch, the area under the upper lip should be as dry as possible. Simply lift the lip slightly with your thumb and forefinger – this helps with adhesion and wearing comfort.

Place snus

Place the pouch on the left or right between your incisor and canine tooth – directly on the gum. This way it sits comfortably and doesn't interfere with speaking.

The feeling afterwards

A slight tingling or cooling burn is normal – especially with fruit or mint varieties. But if it becomes uncomfortable: remove snus, rinse mouth, drink water.

Don't drink anything during use

Especially at the beginning, drinking during use can alter the taste. It's better to wait until the pouch is out.
