Research suggests nicotine pouches are significantly less harmful than smoking, as they contain no tobacco, no smoke, and produce no combustion byproducts. However, they still contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance. Always consult health professionals before using them as a smoking alternative.
Welcome to the worst kept secret in Australia; the rise of nicotine pouches as a form of nicotine intake. Since the evolution of nicotine pouches from traditional snus to pouches, Australia has become one of the highest ordering countries from Europe. With the nicotine pouches being primarily manufactured in Europe, ordering online is the main way of obtaining your pouches in the country. While there are a few websites claiming to be Australian owned, there has been a lack of variety in the country. At Nicotine Warehouse, we have been providing our Australian customers top class pouches for many years, and will continue to do so. However, there is a cause for information for any new users when it comes to pouches, so stick with us, we will guide you through.
What are Nicotine Pouches
Nicotine pouches are an iteration of traditional snus, a product mostly used in Nordic countries. Traditional snus uses tobacco in pouches which are then placed between the gum and upper lip. The nicotine is consumed through the oral mucosa which brings the nicotine direct to the bloodstream. While the uptake of nicotine effects are slower than smoking, it is also without the negatives such as tar. As such, there has been very few studies that make cancerous connotations to snus usage.
Snus is made from raw tobacco, nicotine pouches are made from water, nicotine, and flavourings. So, nicotine pouches have a greater variety of flavours available due to the omittance of tobacco from the products. Nicotine pouches have been a revelation for previous vapers, or smokers, that have found some of their favourite flavours in nicotine pouches.
Benefits of Nicotine Pouches
Smoke Free
In a world where people are more health conscious, traditional smoking is at the heart of much taboo. Vaping, likewise has its fair share of controversy. Nicotine pouches offer a clean, discreet way of consuming nicotine without challenging social acceptance.
Discreet
As nicotine pouches sit between the gum and upper lip, it is a discreet way to consume nicotine. Perfect for office use, lectures, and around the house without everyone knowing your business. Being conscious of others but still enjoying nicotine.
Clean
Against the alternatives such as snus, vaping or traditional smoking, nicotine pouches offer a clean way to consume nicotine. With no staining of teeth, or effects on the smell of your breath, nicotine pouches are a positive choice for those that use nicotine.
Flavours
One of the most exciting factors for most customers is the myriad of different flavours available in pouches. You will find everything from wild chilli, to mint, and even your favourite candy. You can have fun while still enjoying your nicotine kick.
Legal Considerations in Australia
Australia has had much to content with because of the use of vapes, especially with the sales of vapes in the black market. With the price of cigarettes skyrocketing beyond $50 in some places, there has been a financial void left for users of nicotine. Much of our customer base has reached out to us before ordering to find a viable alternative to smoking simply because they cannot afford to continue smoking.
Nicotine pouches are legal to purchase in Australia, provided they are bought online. We have some customers that have obtained a legal prescription to import nicotine pouches. This can be obtained at a cost of around $60 in Australia by attending your local doctors and explaining your need for nicotine. Once this has been approved, which takes around 24 hours, citizens are able to import nicotine pouches without any delays at customs from Europe.
