Advantages of using nicotine pouches

Nicotine pouches have many advantages, especially when they are compared to tobacco-containing and smoke-producing products, such as cigarettes. Other than being tobacco-free and providing a smoke-free experience, the benefits of using nicotine pouches include:

• Convenience. Nicopods can be used wherever you wish, easily transported, and used simply.
• Variety. A selection of nicotine pouches, especially VELO, have different flavors and strengths and are available to suit many users.

Considerations with VELO pouches

However, like everything, there are always characteristics to consider. In terms of nicotine pouches, like other products like cigarettes, there is one common drawback.

• Disposing of the pouch. After using this product, it needs to be disposed of correctly. 

But unlike cigarettes, nicotine pouches come in a can with a catch lid, so if a bin isn’t nearby, you can put your used portions in there until a bin is close.

Understanding nicotine lozenges

Nicotine lozenges were one of the first nicotine products available, introduced in 2002. Moreover, unlike nicotine pouches, they are an FDA-approved medicine to aid those in reducing their nicotine and tobacco intake (nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)). Nicotine lozenges are kept in a box and come in many different flavors and strengths. One of the more popular brands on Prilla is LUCY Lozenges, with 216 products per tub, providing plenty for you to enjoy. One of the more popular LUCY products is LUCY Lozenges Cherry Ice 4mg, with its sweet and refreshing flavor profile.

Advantages of using lozenges

The obvious advantage to using lozenges is the fact they are an FDA-approved NRT, making them more attractive to those wanting to remove tobacco and nicotine from their day to day. Other than that, when compared to other nicotine products, lozenges are:

• Transportable. Like nicotine pouches, they are housed in a box that fits in pockets easily, allowing you to take your product wherever you go.
• Discreet. Lozenges don’t leave a bulge under your lip when using them but dissolve over time, so passersby won’t notice you use them.

Possible drawbacks of nicotine lozenges

Nicotine lozenges are a fantastic option if you are looking at purchasing a nicotine-containing consumable. But when compared to others, nicotine lozenges have:

• Less choice. Limited flavors and strengths are available compared to nicopods.
