Do Nicotine Pouches Burn Your Gums Or Lips?

Nicotine Pouches are still relatively new out on the consumer market, and many people are unaware of the benefits of using them as well as what they can actually do so remain sceptical on taking the plunge of trying them.

Nicotine Pouches offer a completely different sensation for Nicotine absorption which is like no other, as it’s absorbed through the gum by placing the Nicotine Pouch in your mouth to rest between the upper lip/gum and the moisture from your mouth then reacts to release the Nicotine from the pouch.

But the question is commonly asked of do nicotine pouches actually burn your lip or gum, due to the fact Nicotine is a harsh chemical and it’s going into your mouth at the end of the day.

The answer to this is no they do not, instead they give off a sensation that may feel a bit weird and uncomfortable to start with that some people don’t grasp nor actually enjoy. In this blog, I’m going to explain exactly how a Nicotine Pouch works and give you peace of mind if the question in title is worrying you or stopping you from using them.

Does The Nicotine Burn Your Lips or Gums?

Let’s answer the question in topic here in the most simple and straight forward way possible! No, the Nicotine doesn’t burn your lip or gum when you put a Nicotine Pouch in situ in your mouth.

The tingling sensation that the Nicotine gives off from being absorbed through the gums can be reminiscent of a “burning” sensation, but it’s not actually doing it! Things to be careful of if you want to avoid this sensation being at it’s highest;

• Very strong Nicotine strength Pouches
• Extreme Ice/Cool/Mint flavours

These are two factors which can lead to the tingling sensation being heightened quite significantly and it can put a lot of people off. The higher Nicotine content will lead to feeling like it’s burning because of it being harsh in general and you’ll be having a higher dose at once being ingested into your body.

The “Extreme” flavours I mentioned are out there on the market to serve the people who actually do really enjoy the tingling sensation that Nicotine Pouches give off, as this can heighten the effect of absorption. These extreme ice/cool flavours give off the feeling of like when you eat a really strong breath mint, so this combined with the tingling of the nicotine being absorbed really hits the spot for some people! And absolutely is not right for some so make sure you make the right choice!

What Are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine Pouches came on to the market in the UK in 2019 after previously being designed and marketed in Sweden where the use of Snus pouches have been of high volume stemming back to the 1990s. If you didn’t already know what Snus is, they’re small pouches used in the same way as Nicotine Pouches but contain actual tobacco leaf rather than powdered nicotine. And for this, they do carry the risk of ingesting toxic chemicals and carcinogens normally associated with tobacco.

Nicotine Pouches used this design, but instead opted for a powdered Nicotine solution to provide a safer, cleaner and healthier Oral Nicotine product, that carries significant less risk. The design of them is usually always a small white pouch, and inside the pouch features a powdered nicotine solution including flavourings and other essential ingredients needed to keep the nicotine solution moist and good to use.

Nicotine Pouches come in varying Nicotine strengths depending on how weak or strong you want them, and also a variety of flavours are normally available ranging from mint all the way to fruity/sweet flavours. The options are becoming a lot more plentiful as more manufacturers enter on to the market thanks to the growing awareness and usage of these pouches here in the UK.

How Strong Is The Nicotine Hit From Nicotine Pouches?

The answer to this comes down to what Nicotine strength you choose to have in your Nicotine Pouches, as obviously the higher the nicotine content, the stronger the hit will be. Pretty obvious really!

If you’re new to using Nicotine Pouches, I would always advise picking a nicotine strength that is on the lower end of the spectrum, just so you can get used to them as using Nicotine Pouches really will be a completely new experience what you’ve like not had before.

Using a higher strength Nicotine pouch will definitely enhance the absorption effects of the Nicotine going through your gums, as there will be more of it basically. When the nicotine absorbs through the gum from the pouch, it gives off a “tingling” sensation, and this is something that some people simply don’t get on with but some people really enjoy it. And the higher the nicotine strength, the more intense this feeling will be.

Are Nicotine Pouches Safe To Use?

Yes, Nicotine Pouches are safe to use! Why else would they be allowed to be sold if they weren’t?!

There has been no proven evidence from anywhere that Nicotine is harmful to a person in anyway despite how it is consumed. Whether that be from a Nicotine Pouch, E-Cigarette or a combustible Cigarette. There’s no evidence simply because it isn’t harmful! Despite many believing it actually is which is wrong.

Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical, and can lead to people forming an addiction and even a dependency on it in a short space of time after first consuming it. And overcoming Nicotine addiction is something which is no easy task, but it’s certainly not impossible!

Whilst it is highly addictive, it is not harmful to you when consumed by one of the usual methods I listed above. Don’t get me wrong, Nicotine in it’s raw form is pretty dangerous but chances of you coming into contact are most likely relatively slim. And the Nicotine used in Nicotine Pouches is fully tested and ensured it’s safe for consumption as everything sold on the UK market has to adhere to regulations set out within the Tobacco Products Directive
