Top 3 reasons to dip or nicotine pouches

1. Brighter smile. Look your best without dip or pouches.

3. Save money. At $3-$9 per tin, that’s thousands of dollars a year! How much would YOU save? Calculate it here.

3. Reducing health risks.

Chewing tobacco contains 28 cancer-causing chemicals.

Nicotine harms circuits for attention, learning, mood (anxiety and depression), impulse control; no nicotine product is safe for adolescents because their brains are still developing. Nicotine in any form is a cardiovascular toxin; avoiding combustion does not remove CV risk.

Early research shows pouches may lead to mouth irritation or lesions and inflammation. Some pouches contain nitrosamines, metals and/or formaldehyde; long-term cancer risk is unknown.

Poisonings: Toddlers naturally put things into their mouths. So it’s no surprise there has been a 763% rise in reported children less than 6 years old ingesting pouches. This has led, in some cases, to emergency room visits to treat nicotine poisoning.
