Over time, trends come and go; the new replaces the old. Vape brands, like JUUL, emerged as the leading alternative to smoking, only to fall a few years later, as it seems to quickly be going the way of cigarettes — rapidly declining due to concerns associated with health and inhaling smoke. The next trend may already be emerging in the form of nicotine pouches. Are pouches the next new trend? Read on to find out why consumers are interested in this product.
- They provide the nicotine hit with no smoke or tobacco
Tobacco users want their nicotine fix and nicotine pouches can provide the same hit without any smoke, vapor, or tobacco leaves. Since it is smokeless, it is discreet and no one will complain about it. This makes it easy for users to enjoy a nicotine experience anywhere in public or private.
- They don’t stain your teeth
Just like wood, teeth are porous and absorb stains. The tar in chewing tobacco, like Skoal, easily absorbs into the pores of teeth, thus causing unwanted discolorations. Nicotine pouches do not contain tobacco, hence leaving the user’s teeth spotless of stains.
- They don’t cause spit or bad breath
When chewing tobacco, the ground leaves are placed inside the user’s mouth and it causes tons of saliva to build up – thus, the need to continuously spit. Aside from this, it also causes bad breath. On the other hand, nicotine pouches are also placed inside the mouth, but they do not cause excessive saliva, so there is no need to spit. Plus, the mint flavor can refresh the breath, hence there are no bad breath problems with these pouches.
- You can pick a flavor and/or strength
Unlike other products that have only one flavor, nicotine pouches come in a variety of flavors. Prilla outlines some of the different options, primarily breaking them down into flavored or unflavored pouches. For those who want flavor, choices like cinnamon, coffee, and mint among others, are available. An unflavored pouch is also available for those who want subtlety.
- They’re widely legal
More and more public places have banned smoking which makes it difficult for tobacco users to find places to smoke. Nicotine pouches are legal and it is easy for users to enjoy wherever they are – in a park, restaurant, or bar. Also, since they are legal, they can be purchased conveniently on the internet and delivered almost anywhere in the U.S.
- They’re easy to carry and dispose of
Nicotine pouches are small and conveniently fit in a pocket or in a mini compartment. This makes it easy for users to pack them in the morning and go anywhere with them on hand. Whenever they want to enjoy a nicotine buzz, it is there within their reach.
This trend is on the rise and with good reasons from happy customers. It even seems like there is a lot of potential for branding. If Rick And Morty can stamp characters on Pringles, what’s to stop them from doing the same on pouches? If this modern alternative is the next big thing, give it a try and experience it for yourself.
