5 Reasons Nicotine Pouches Are Safer Than Vaping

Nicotine pouches have seen anexplosion in popularity. Although the new, tobacco-free pouches have only been on the market for a few years, current studies show they are increasingly becoming the preferred option for your nicotine needs. According to Business Research Insights the global nicotine pouch market in 2024 was worth USD 3.55 billion. It’s expected to reach USD 83.57 billion by 2033. That level of consumer confidence makes it likely that in the war of nicotine pouches vs vaping, the pouches are likely to win. There are 5 reasons pouches are the safer nicotine option.

1. Reduced Health Risks

When vaping first arrived on the scene, it was seen as a healthier option. At least, healthier than cigarettes. Studies, such as this one from NCBI backed up this fact. The study also acknowledged that vaping could be as harmful as cigarettes as there are many chemicals in e-cigarettes, including heavy metals. At the end of the day, vaping may be a tobacco-free option, but it still involves inhaling combusted materials. That can lead to health issues. In contrast to these vaping health concerns, studies have found nicotine pouches to be a safer option. This is because they are tobacco and smoke-free. In fact, as this NCBI study shows pouches generally have far fewer chemicals than vapes or cigarettes.

2. You Know What Nicotine You’re Getting

"On average you’ll absorb 50% of the nicotine in a nicotine pouch. It’s actually about the same percentage as for vaping.”

However, thanks to pouch regulations, you’ll know exactly how much nicotine is in every pouch and, therefore, how much nicotine you’ll absorb. In contrast, an e-cigarette will tell you how much nicotine there is in the vape, but you have no way of knowing how much you’re using and absorbing. In short, you can easily consume more nicotine than you want to or safely should when vaping. It’s much harder when using nicotine pouches.

3. Have a Pouch When You Want

Vaping regulations are becoming surprisingly similar to cigarette smoking. There are many places where it is no longer acceptable to vape. That could cause you a problem if you need to vape to boost concentration or cognitive function. In contrast, nicotine pouch health and safety rules are more relaxed and you can put a pouch in at any time and any place. In short, you’re safe having a pouch whenever you want.

4. No Charging Risks

Your nicotine pouches are in a tin and can be easily carried with you. When you want one, take it out of the tin and put it in your mouth. In contrast, an e-cigarette has an internal battery which needs to be recharged regularly. It’s frustrating when you run out of charge. It can also be dangerous if you use the wrong charger or overcharge the pen. It’s serious enough that the [FDA has issued guidelines] (https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/products-ingredients-components/tips-help-avoid-vape-battery-fires-or-explosions) to avoid vape pen battery fires.

5. Environmental Safety

You’re probably thinking about the environment more often than you used to. Most people are. Vape pens, especially disposable ones, are adding to the global pile of plastic waste. That’s causing issues for the planet and scientists are increasingly concerned about health issues due to the amount of plastic waste. In contrast, nicotine pouches are made from plant fibres and quickly decompose. They are the environmentally friendly option.

Summing Up
