If you’ve decided to quit smoking, well done! You’ve opted to make one of the best decisions you probably will ever make in your life, but unfortunately, it will probably be one of the hardest things you’ll have to do in your life as well.
Experts say giving up smoking is one of the hardest things a person can do in their life, especially if they have smoked for a long time as it is a hard habit to break. It’s also recommended that you use some form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy to help you along the way to make the transition as easy and seamless as possible.
Nicotine Pouches have become a popular option for people who are looking for a tobacco free alternative for their Nicotine, as well as a smoke/vapour alternative also. But, if you’re new to using Nicotine Pouches, it can be confusing to know what strength Nicotine Pouch to buy to ensure you’re getting enough Nicotine to satisfy your cravings.
That’s what this article is all about, as I will break down and explain everything you need to know about nicotine strengths and Nicotine Pouches to ensure your transition from quitting cigarettes to using Nicotine Pouches is as easy as possible.
Why Nicotine Replacement Therapy Is Essential When Quitting Smoking
As I mentioned, it’s not an easy task to quit smoking, especially if this has been something you’ve done for a long time. But it’s not an unbeatable task, and many people succeed in quitting every single day. When you smoke a cigarette, your body absorbs Nicotine that is found within the Tobacco used in your cigarette. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical, and can easily lead to an addiction/dependency which is what a lot of people struggle to over come.
Contrary to popular belief, Nicotine is not actually harmful, and it is not one of the many toxic chemicals found in Cigarettes that can lead to serious health implications such as Cancer and Heart/Lung disease.
So when you decide to quit smoking, it’s really not advisable that you just stop completely taking in Nicotine and going the cold turkey route. As this can lead to withdrawals from Nicotine and in turn this brings with it some nasty side effects such as sickness, dizziness, insomnia and anxiety amongst other things also. Instead, it’s always recommended that you use some form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy if you want to successfully quit smoking.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy is exactly what it says on the tin, a form of Nicotine that replaces the Nicotine that you previously absorbed from smoking cigarettes, and the forms of NRT that people use are considerably safer and a lot less harmful than what smoking cigarettes are.
The ‘traditional’ Nicotine Replacement Therapy options that have been around for a long time are things like Nicotine Patches, Nicotine Gum, Nicotine Spray and Lozenges. These are effective in delivering small doses of Nicotine when you start to feel those cravings creeping in, with Patches giving a gradual release of Nicotine over a specific period of time, and the other things giving an instant sharp hit of Nicotine.
But what has taken somewhat of the forefront when it comes to NRT is alternative forms not available on prescription from the GP, most notably E-Cigarettes and now Nicotine Pouches have entered the fray as a popular and effective method to help quit smoking. These are popular because they offer a variety of different flavours as well as nicotine strengths which can deliver Nicotine near instantly to someone, in the same time frame that smoking a cigarette would deliver Nicotine.
With both E-Liquid and Nicotine Pouches being available in an array of nicotine strengths, it can be a bit of a minefield when it comes to working out what strength would be best suited for you, but fear not! I can help with this, let’s have a look at how to determine what Nicotine Strength Nicotine Pouch would be best suited for you.
Knowing What Nicotine Strength Nicotine Pouch Is Right For You
It might sound or seem complex to understand what Nicotine Strength would be right for you, but it’s actually not that complex. I know, easy for me to say being in the know from working in the industry, but I’ll explain it as clearly and simply as possible for you to understand.
Nicotine Pouches come in different numbered MG, which is milligrams of Nicotine that is contained within the Nicotine Powder solution. Most brands will have low, medium, strong and x-strong strength options to try and cater for everyone’s needs. And to keep it simple for the basis of this article, we will take a look at what Nicotine strength Nicotine Pouches that DIP have on offer and who they would be suitable for.
DIP Nicotine Pouches are a relatively new, yet exciting brand of Nicotine Pouches to enter the market. They are produced in the North of England, and really stand out from other brands due to their innovative nicotine technology used. DIP Nicotine Pouches feature the use of Nicotine Alkaloids, which are what is found in actual tobacco, but these do not contain any form of tobacco whatsoever. Using the Alkaloids within the powdered Nicotine solution, this means that the absorption rate and “Nicotine hit” when using a DIP Nicotine Pouch will feel just like smoking a cigarette does without the need to actually smoke one. Win win!
DIP Nicotine Pouches come in 3 different flavours; Blueberry Ice, Ice Cool Mint and Polar Mint and also in two different Nicotine strengths, a medium strength 8mg Nicotine and a strong strength 12mg Nicotine.
DIP 8mg Nicotine Pouches would be best suited for someone who has a reasonable tolerance for Nicotine from smoking around 10 cigarettes a day. If you were previously a vaper and want to use oral nicotine products now instead, this would be suited for you if you used a 6mg/12mg E-Liquid.
DIP 12mg Nicotine Pouches are strong and would only be advised for someone to use if they have a relatively high tolerance for nicotine from smoking 15-20 or more cigarettes a day, or a higher strength E-Liquid like 20mg Nicotine Salts for example.
Weaker nicotine strengths are available in other brands which would be best for people with a low tolerance for Nicotine, and of course the other end of the spectrum is available with x-strong Nicotine strength Nicotine Pouches ranging right up to 18-24mg and some times even stronger than that.
If you have never used Nicotine pouches before, I strongly recommend trialling a lower strength Nicotine strength Nicotine Pouch to get used to them, as the feeling of the Nicotine absorbing is quite different to what you’ve probably been used to, and also there is a tingling sensation that comes alongside it, and the higher the nicotine content, the more intense this feeling is, so it’s best to try and experiment first before settling on your desired nicotine strength.
