What Are Nicopods?

• Nicopods are tobacco-free, white pouches that deliver nicotine when placed between the upper lip and gum. 
• Each pouch releases nicotine steadily for 20–60 minutes without smoke, vapour, chewing, or spitting. 
• Users can choose among multiple strengths, flavours, sizes, and leading brands. 

If you’ve heard the word “nicopods” and wondered what they are, you’re not alone. Nicopods, or tobacco-free snus, are small, white nicotine pouches. Each pouch contains nicotine, plant fibres, flavourings, and sweeteners – no tobacco leaf. This makes them a discreet, easy-to-use option for adult nicotine users seeking a tobacco-free alternative. 

Nicopods are placed between the upper lip and gum. Once in position, the pouch gradually releases nicotine, typically for 20–60 minutes. There’s no need to chew or spit; simply place the pouch under your lip. 

Each pouch contains a blend of nicotine, flavourings, plant-based fibres (often from cellulose), sweeteners, and stabilisers. The pouches are ‘all-white’, which is designed to reduce staining and provide a discreet appearance under the lip. 

Choosing the right nicopod depends on your personal preferences and experience level. You’ll want to consider: 

Nicopods come in several sizes: 

• Mini – smallest portion size 
• Slim – a compact fit  
• Regular – a fuller pouch size 

Each size delivers a slightly different feel under the lip and can vary across brands.
