Nicotine Pouch Strength Breakdown
All nicotine pouches are available in a range of strengths to suit different personal preferences. The number of milligrams per pouch will vary depending on the brand you go for.
We categorize them as:
- 2mg-3mg (Less Intense)
- 4mg-6mg (Regular)
- 7mg-9mg (Strong)
- 10mg-15mg (Extra Strong)
If you’ve recently switched to nicotine pouches and are unsure what level of intensity to go for, it’s often best to start with less milligrams per pouch to see how your body reacts before gradually increasing the strength (as needed).
Former smokeless tobacco users may prefer a higher concentration of nicotine than people who smoke, since absorbing nicotine orally is different to inhaling it.
Every new product stocked on Northerner undergoes rigorous lab testing to ensure it meets strict product quality and safety requirements. The maximum nicotine pouch strength we’ll sell is capped at 20mg, for instance, which is in line with the Swedish Institute for Standards (SIS/TS 72:2024) and equivalent to an average cigarette.
Discover All Nicotine Pouch Flavors
Flavor is one way of enhancing your experience of a nicotine pouch. You’ll find a variety of flavored and unflavored options to choose from on Northerner, catering to all tastes.
Some of the most popular categories include:
- Mint (e.g. Wintergreen, Spearmint, Peppermint, and Menthol).
- Fruit (e.g. Wild Berry, Mango, Citrus, and more exotic blends).
- US Inspired (e.g. Cinnamon, Coffee, and tobacco-free Tobacco).

Comparing Pouch Formats
When buying your nicotine pouches online, it’s also important to understand the different formats since there is some variation in terms of size and style—although all pouches are designed to fit comfortably under your lip.
-
- Slim is by far the most readily available pouch type you’ll find in the US. They typically measure 1.2” x 0.5”.
- Large pouches have a slightly bigger surface area (1.2” x 0.6”) and may be more familiar to consumers of other oral nicotine formats like dip and chew.
- Mini pouches offer a more compact and snug fit around 0.9” x 0.5”.
All pouches are made from a porous, white material that enables nicotine and flavor absorption via your mouth lining.
Regardless of whether you prefer a moist or dry pouch, they should all have a relatively soft texture that’s pliable and not too stiff. If you ever come across a pouch that’s split, hard, or discolored, don’t use it and dispose of it responsibly.
Of course, there are new pouch innovations hitting the market to be aware of too. For instance, FRE uses Pre-Primed Technology (PPT); Sesh is made from a chewable gum base; and Lucy Breakers features a liquid-filled flavor capsule (all stocked on-site).
How to Use Nicotine Pouches
Getting the most out of your nicotine pouch is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
-
- Pop open your can and grab a fresh pouch.
- Park the pouch comfortably between your top lip and gum, letting the nicotine gradually absorb.
- When you’re ready to remove the pouch, store it in your can’s waste compartment (if it has one) or throw it directly in the trash.
Keep in mind that you should give yourself regular breaks between nicotine pouches and not necessarily replace a pouch straight away. It’s important to listen to your body and pace your nicotine consumption throughout the day. Please use nicotine pouches responsibly.
Benefits of Nicotine Pouches
Nicotine pouches offer an alternative for existing nicotine consumers to use nicotine without the chemicals and toxins that are found in cigarettes and released through combustion.
Please note that nicotine pouches are not an FDA-approved smoking cessation aid, and we do not endorse them as a smoking cessation aid or nicotine replacement therapy. You can, however, read up on FDA-approved smoking cessation aids if you’re trying to quit and looking for more information.
According to our customers, some of the main positives of nicotine pouches include:
-
- They’re smoke-free. This not only reduces your exposure to toxic chemicals like nitrosamines and tar, but also those around you.
- They contain no traces of tobacco. There are ways to extract nicotine from the tobacco plant or create it synthetically in a lab, so you can enjoy the same nicotine sensation, minus the tobacco leaf.
- There’s plenty of choice. Shop around to find the right combination of flavor, strength, and pouch format to suit your needs.
- Anytime, anywhere convenience. You can use nicotine pouches in the office, on the road, or out in public where smoking and vaping are generally prohibited. You won’t have to deal with lingering odors following you around all day either.
- They’re hands-free. There’s no need to disrupt your routine when it comes to nicotine pouches—once under your lip, they fit seamlessly into whatever you’re doing.
- They’re mess-free. Pouches produce minimal spit, and most brands have a built-in waste compartment, so you don’t even need to be close to a trash can to dispose of them.
- They’re hassle-free. Lost your lighter? Or forgot to charge your vape? With nicotine pouches, there’s no extra equipment required. All you need is the pocket-friendly can and you’re good to go.
- They’re smoke-free. This not only reduces your exposure to toxic chemicals like nitrosamines and tar, but also those around you.
With these benefits in mind, it’s also important to remember that nicotine is an addictive substance, so you should always be mindful of your intake and use pouches responsibly.
We encourage responsible use of nicotine pouches by adults only (21+). Remove the pouch immediately and drink plenty of water if you start to experience any dizziness, nausea, or headaches.

FAQ
- Nicotine pouches do not contain any tobacco. They contain nicotine that’s either derived from the leaves of the tobacco plant or made synthetically in a lab.
- A nicotine pouch typically lasts up to 60 minutes in your mouth, however, this can vary depending on the pouch you're using. You should take a pouch out as soon as it's no longer having the desired effect. If in doubt, consult the side of your can for brand-specific instructions.
- Pouches don’t have an expiration date, but you will find a best before date printed on the bottom of the can that you should use them by.
- The amount of nicotine per pouch is clearly printed on every can in milligrams (mg). We categorize nicotine pouches as Less Intense if they contain 2-3mg of nicotine; Regular if they contain 4-6mg of nicotine; Strong if they contain 7-9mg of nicotine; and Extra Strong if they contain any more than 10mg. Pouches above 20mg are not recommended and will never be stocked on Northerner.
- Remember to keep your unopened nicotine pouch cans in a cool, dry environment. Your cans shouldn't be exposed to extreme heat or humidity and, once opened, have a shelf life of a couple of days (if stored correctly). Some users prefer a chilled experience and opt to keep their nicotine pouches in the fridge, but that is a matter of personal preference.
- Swallowing small amounts of excess saliva while using a nicotine pouch isn't an issue, but you should never swallow the pouch itself. If you do accidentally swallow a pouch, seek medical advice.
- In the US, you'll find prices range from $2-$6 per can. Typically it is cheaper to buy your nicotine pouches online than it is at a gas station or supermarket. Shopping online, you also have the benefit of bulk-buy discounts and home delivery. Keep in mind that some sales taxes may apply depending on where you live.
