Are nicotine pouches legal in the UK?Small pouches placed under the upper lip that release nicotine gradually. They contain nicotine, plant-based fillers, flavourings and salts — no tobacco leaf, no smoke and no vapour.
No. Traditional snus contains moist tobacco and cannot be sold in the UK; nicotine pouches are tobacco-free. Many UK shoppers still search for "snus" and mean modern nicotine pouches.
If you are unsure, start with Low or Normal (up to 6 mg per pouch) and move up one step at a time only if you want to.
Around 15 to 30 minutes under the upper lip, at most about 60,, depending on the product. When the flavour fades, remove the pouch and dispose of it responsibly.
They are smoke-free and tobacco-free, but not risk-free: they contain nicotine, which is addictive. They are for adults aged 18 and over and are not intended for non-smokers. If you have health questions, speak to a healthcare professional.
No. Prices are in pounds with UK VAT included, and orders are dispatched duty-paid, so there is nothing to pay when your parcel arrives.
