Because there are so many options to choose from. So, to help you out, we’ve narrowed it down to nicotine pouches, gum, and lozenges – the most popular oral nicotine products on the market.

In this post, we’ll give you a rundown of the oral nicotine category and take you through each of the main products to help you decide which is right for you.

Ready? Let’s get into it.

Those who use products like nicotine pouches know that there’s something unique about nicotine. Whether you are a casual user or like to catch a nicotine buzz several times a day, the concept behind how this naturally-occurring chemical works is still the same.

Here is a quick guide to understanding where this compound comes from and what we can look forward to in the coming years for products that contain nicotine.

Lucy Breakers is a really interesting new format of nicotine pouches. You may be familiar with Lucy because they make a popular line of nicotine gum. Over the past few years, they’ve gradually been expanding into nicotine pouches. But, what makes this one interesting is that it has something very unique, something no other nicotine pouch on the market has: a flavor/moisture capsule inside the pouch.

In this review, we’ll be trying their Apple Ice flavor!

In the world of nicotine pouches, there is none more popular or well known than Zyn. Since the launch of Zyn several years ago, it has grown in popularity across the US, and is a fan favorite for those who enjoy the all-white nicotine pouch category. With a wide assortment of flavors, and two strengths per flavor, the Zyn series is quite versatile. There are a few different mint products in the Zyn range, but today we’re going to be talking about their Cool Mint flavor, in the 3mg and 6mg strengths.  

If you asked anyone in the US about nicotine pouches, most of them would mention the Zyn brand. Since the launch of Zyn, it has become arguably the most popular brand in the US. Zyn offers a wide range of flavors and nicotine strengths, so no matter what you’re into, there’s something for you. Also, in terms of mint, Zyn offers quite a few of them: Spearmint, Cool Mint, and the one we’re talking about today: Peppermint. Each US Zyn product comes in two strengths, 3mg and 6mg, so today we’re going to check out both of them.

I first tried Rogue a few years ago. It has been on the market for quite a while, and comes with quite a few different flavors and strengths. It’s also different from others out there. First, Rogue comes with a full sized can. In shape, it’s about the size and form of a dip can. The pouches are also different. They’re not the standard mini/dry type. They’re bigger, almost the size of a regular sized pouch. They also have more moisture to them, which contributes a softer pouch. Today, we’re checking out the tropical flavor of mango!  

One of the alluring perks of choosing to use a nicotine pouch is that they are tobacco-free. For those who have had negative effects from tobacco or who choose to avoid it for other reasons, staying away from tobacco is important while still getting the boost of a quality nicotine product.

So, how can something have nicotine but be made without tobacco? What is the meaning of the phrase “nicotine-free?” We share some details about how this determination is made and which products can claim to be free of tobacco.

Today, we’re talking about Rogue Nicotine Pouches. Rogue is a pretty well known line that has been sold in the US for several years. They’re one of the earliest lines, going back to the beginning days of nicotine pouches and were one of the first lines on the market. I was traveling back in 2020, and I happened upon them in a gas station in the Midwest. Today we’re checking out their Honey Lemon flavor with Rogue Honey Lemon 3mg and Rogue Honey Lemon 6mg, which is one of their more interesting and unique flavors!

Rogue nicotine pouches is a brand that’s been around for quite a while. Compared to other new brands on the market, this is one that’s been out for a bit. I first had it a few years ago, myself. It’s different, and stands out a lot compared to others on the market. The can is a full sized can, and is similar in form and size to an American dip can. The pouches are also quite different. Compared to other mini/dry pouches out there, these are full sized, and moist. This one is definitely different! The line has quite a few flavors, but today we’re going to be checking out Rogue Cinnamon 6mg. This one also comes in a 3mg variant.

A few years ago, I tried Rogue for the first time. I’d heard about them quite a few times, as they have been one of the earliest sold brands of nicotine pouches in the US. Rogue is intriguing!  It comes in a full, regular sized can, almost resembling the size of an American dip can. However, this product is completely tobacco-free. The pouches, also, are not the mini/dry type like others sold in the US. They’re regular sized, moist, and quite soft. Today, we’re checking out the very American flavor of Wintergreen!
