Who are Stay Smokeless?
Stay Smokeless has been in the tobacco alternative industry for over 10 years and became one of the first online retailers of new, modern smokeless products in the UK and Europe.
Our huge range of reduced-risk products, such as Nicotine Pouches, Vapes and Nicotine Gum are made up of multiple brands and flavours.
We aim to significantly reduce the use of harmful chemicals caused from smoking tobacco with alternative solutions. It is widely acknowledged that most harm associated with conventional cigarettes is caused by the toxicants in the smoke, produced by the burning of tobacco.
What are Nicotine Pouches, Vapes and Nicotine Gum?
From Scandinavia, Nicotine Pouches are somewhat similar to Swedish tobacco Snus, but completely free of tobacco! Nicotine Pouches are sold in tubs containing pre-portioned pouches, created with high quality food-grade ingredients, high purity nicotine, water, flavouring and sweeteners.
Popular in countries such as Sweden, Norway and the US and described by BAT (British American Tobacco) as a modern further reduced risk and product alternative to conventional cigarettes/ vaping. There is no combustion involved in using Nicotine Pouches, meaning you don’t have to worry about the various toxicants that are usually associated with smoking. Nitrosamines (TSNAs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). In addition, you won’t have to deal with the inhalation of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly!
Vapes are battery powered smoking devices, containing cartridges filled with liquid that are usually made up of nicotine, flavouring and reduced risk chemicals. The liquid is heated into vapour, which is then inhaled. Vapes do not carry tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke, therefore reducing the risk on your health and the environment.
Nicotine Gum delivers nicotine to the body, supplying nicotine to the bloodstream via absorption by the tissues in the mouth. Using Nicotine Gum can reduce unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, anxiety and irritation, making it easier to move away from toxic products.
Are Nicotine Pouches the same as Snus?
No, they are not the same and we do not sell snus!
Nicotine Pouches and Snus are used in a similar way, however there is a main difference between the two products. Snus contains tobacco and Nicotine Pouches, which we sell, are created with natural fibres and are 100% tobacco free.
Snus belongs to a category of traditional oral tobacco products with currently high relevance among tobacco consumers across specific geographies (e.g. Sweden, Norway, USA).
Do I chew Nicotine Pouches?
No, the nicotine is absorbed through the gums when you place a pouch under your lip. You are not required to suck or chew the pouchess unless the product directly tells you to. If you are interested in chewable Nicotine products we highly suggest our Lucy Nicotine Gum, as it gives off a similar effect to that of Nicotine Pouches.
How do I use Nicotine Pouches?
They can be used discreetly; anytime, anywhere depending on your preference.
- Put a pouch under your upper lip.
- A tingling sensation means the nicotine is absorbing.
- Enjoy for 5 - 60 minutes.
- Put used pouch in the top waste compartment of Nicotine Pouch tub.
Why am I experiencing a burning sensation?
First-time users might experience a slight burn under the lip which will gradually reduce as the body’s oral system gets used to the product. Depending on the nicotine strength of the product, this burn can intensify. A way of reducing the burn is either to change position of the nicotine pouch or put it on the tongue for a while. You can also sip on a glass of water or spit out the excessive saliva.
