Users place a pouch under their upper lip, where the nicotine and flavors are absorbed through the gums. It can be used discreetly, without the need for spitting, as is common with other forms of smokeless products.

Guide to how to use
Select Your product: Choose your preferred type – There are 550+ flavors and strengts to choose from.
Wash Your Hands: It's good hygiene practice to wash your hands before handling to prevent transferring bacteria to your mouth.
Open the Can: Carefully open the canister or package containing the pouches. You do not want to spill them on your lap.
Take a Pouch: Gently take one portion pouch from the can. The pouch should be moist and evenly filled.
Position the Pouch: Using your fingers, place the pouch under your upper lip. It's typically positioned to one side rather than directly under the center of the lip.
Wait and Feel: Once the pouch is in place, you'll start to feel a tingling sensation as the nicotine begins to absorb through the gums. This is normal.
Adjust if Necessary: If the pouch is uncomfortable, you can adjust it slightly for a better fit. It should sit snugly without causing any irritation.
Leave the Pouch in Place: Keep the pouch under your lip for typically 15-30 minutes, but some people leave it in for up to an hour, depending on their preference and the strength of the pouch.
Dispose of the Pouch: After you've finished using the pouch, remove it and dispose it properly. Most cans have a compartment in the lid specifically for used pouches.
Wash Your Hands Again: It's a good idea to wash your hands after disposing of the pouch, especially if you're not immediately able to brush your teeth.
Note the following
The duration for which you keep the snus under your lip can vary based on the nicotine content, your own tolerance, and personal preference.
Nicotine absorption starts quickly but can continue at a slower pace for a prolonged period.
If you’re new to pouches, start with a lower nicotine content to gauge your tolerance.
Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are used in the same way as the traditional product from Sweden.
It's important to use these products responsibly and be aware of the risks.
