Other Nicotine Products

 

 

They’re all practical alternatives to pouches, with each product providing a slightly different experience and unique benefits.

What are Nicotine Tablets?

Nicotine tablets are small tablets that provide a fast release once placed in the mouth.

Thanks to their small form, they’re a flexible and convenient option. This brings the following benefits:

• They don’t irritate the mouth 
• They go practically unnoticed by others due to their size
• There’s no need to spit while using

Tablets have low strength levels, with 2 mg and 4 mg tablets being the most popular options. 

Nicotine Tablet Flavors

Tablets come in flavors similar to those found in pouches and other products.

Mint and fruit are the dominant taste profiles on offer, and leading brand Rogue offers the following options:

• Rogue Tablet Peppermint
• Rogue Tablet Wintergreen
• Rogue Tablet Berry

What to Expect from Nicotine Tablets

Despite their lower strength, the fast release from tablets can provide a potent sensation.

It takes just two to three minutes for them to deliver nicotine. That’s faster than lozenges or gum, and even faster than some pouches!

When using tablets, the user shouldn’t chew or suck. Instead, they should let the tablet dissolve in their mouth.

What are Nicotine Lozenges?

Nicotine lozenges are little discs containing nicotine. They look similar to tablets at first glance, but provide a very different experience — lozenges release their contents more gradually.

As with any other nicotine product, a wide range of taste profiles are available. VELO lozenges include flavors like Crema (creamy butterscotch) and Berries, while the Rogue lozenges collection includes Wintergreen and Citrus.

Most products have a lower strength, with 2 mg and 4 mg per tablet being the most popular options.

How to Use Nicotine Lozenges

Using lozenges involves the following steps:

1. Place the tablets into the mouth (usually the cheeks or gums).
2. Move them from one side of the mouth to the other.
3. Wait for the contents to dissolve.

Lozenges offer a slower delivery than many nicotine products — it typically takes 20 to 30 minutes to feel an effect.

There are also a few precautions to keep in mind. Like tablets, lozenges shouldn’t be:

• Chewed
• Sucked
• Swallowed

What is Nicotine Gum?

Given the popularity of chewing gum, it makes sense that a gum containing nicotine would be popular among nicotine users.

Nicotine gum offers the following advantages:

• The same burst of flavor as standard gum
• May appeal to those who enjoy the familiar ritual of chewing
• Other people won’t know whether the user is consuming nicotine or standard gum

Nicotine Gum Flavors

One of the most popular options is LUCY nicotine gum, a range that includes:

• LUCY Gum Berry Citrus
• LUCY Gum Mango
• LUCY Gum Wintergreen
• LUCY Gum Cinnamon
• LUCY Gum Mint
• LUCY Gum Pomegranate

This is a wider variety of taste profiles than lozenges or tablets offer.

Most products have nicotine levels between 2 mg and 6 mg, with many flavors coming in various strengths.

How to Use Nicotine Gum

Nicotine gum may look like any other gum, but it’s not used in exactly the same way.

Instead of continually chewing gum, users should follow this process:

1. Chew
2. Wait to feel a tingling sensation (means the nicotine is “activated”)
3. Stop chewing
4. Place it between their gum and cheek
5. Repeat until all flavor and nicotine are released

However, check the instructions for a specific gum — in some cases, the user can chew the gum continually.

Which Nicotine Product to Choose

Nicotine tablets, lozenges, and gum are all products that deliver nicotine and flavor while being:

• Tobacco-free 
• Spit-free
• Stain-free
• Convenient

However, they vary in how quickly they release their contents and how long the delivery lasts:

• Nicotine tablets: Fast release and moderate longevity 
• Nicotine lozenges: Slow release and high longevity 
• Nicotine gum: Moderate release and moderate intensity

Some consumers also have personal preferences over whether they would rather chew a product or let it dissolve, which informs their choice.
