Nicotine pouches have gained traction and popularity over the past few years. You may have heard about nicopods in one advertisement or another. However, no one really talks about the benefits and disadvantages of nicotine pouches in detail.
Are nicopods really all that they are made to be? Do these pouches actually help people quit their addictions?
Let's explore.
We can divide the benefits of nicotine pouches into direct and indirect effects. Here are the 8 benefits of ZYNs and other nicotine pouches.
Nicotine pouches are often used as substitutes for more harmful tobacco-leaf and e-liquid products. We've labeled these benefits as “indirect” because they are applicable when you use nicotine pouches as a substitute. Here are 4 of these indirect benefits of ZYN and other nicotine pouches:
You'll have reduced exposure to toxic chemicals using nicotine pouches. Cigarettes contain more than 70 harmful chemicals that affect the soft tissues in your body. When you inhale cigarette smoke, it directly impacts your lungs and can even lead to lung cancer. The carcinogenic nature of cigarettes also influences your mouth.
Cigarettes can cause:
By using nicotine pouches, you can stop smoking and save yourself from all of these atrocious effects of cigarettes.
When you smoke in an open area, you risk the health of the people around you. According to the CDC, people exposed to second-hand smoke have a 25 to 30% increased risk of stroke or heart disease.
Additionally, second-hand smoke is responsible for about, 34,000 premature infant deaths in the United States alone. By using nicopods, you save yourself and the people around you.
According to the WHO, around 4.5 trillion cigarette buds pollute our environment annually. The unsustainable production of cigs leads to more pollution and negative environmental impacts. In contrast, more modern nicopods are made with eco-friendly materials.
Most nicotine packs from brands like VELO and ZYN come with a catch lid. You can store used nicotine bags in these lids and get rid of them later. In this way, you reduce unnecessary litter and pollution.
Cigarettes have a dire effect on your stamina and ability to exercise. Your vital muscles get less oxygen and you get tired more easily. While the nicotine does affect your ability to work out, the lack of stamina drains you.
Nicotine pouches have the opposite effect. According to popular research, nicotine pouches have an incredibly stimulating effect. These pouches can help you exercise more easily and improve your efficiency.
Nicotine has various benefits that are often lost in the cacophony surrounding its harmful effects. When you strip away tobacco from nicotine, you're left with more benefits than cons.
Let's look at these benefits in detail:
Nicotine is a stimulant and increases energy, albeit momentarily. From personal experience, they are good when you need to use them to wake up or to improve your mood momentarily. When you use a nicotine pouch, the brain releases dopamine and adrenaline, which makes you feel more active.
Nicotine pouch brands like ZYN, VELO, and LOOP have multiple unique flavors that feel amazing. For example, the ZYNs have Coffee, Citrus, Apple, Mint, and more. These flavors give users an extra incentive to quit other harmful products.
Some flavors even enhance the nicotine experience. For example, the stinging coldness of mint can make 3 mg nicotine pouches feel much stronger.
Nicotine pouches are much more versatile compared to other products. Most nicotine pouches come in slim, standard, or mini dry formats. Each one is spitless, smokeless, and super easy to use.
For example, the slim pouches hardly make a bulge under your lip. You can use these pouches anywhere, which makes them a great alternative to cigarettes, snus, and vapes.
Nicotine pouches have fixed levels per can, which prevents side effects and health risks like nicotine overdose. You can find nicotine pouches more easily according to your tolerance levels. Most users prefer ZYN 3 or 6 mg pouches to quit alternative products.
ZYN Nicotine pouches deliver nicotine without tobacco. Several studies have indicated that nicotine improves reaction time and accuracy. It enhances cognitive functions. But, the benefits last for about 30 minutes to an hour. So, if you are looking for a quick mental boost, ZYN can help.
Nicotine pouches like ZYN are often touted as a low-energy solution for those slow, sluggish days. Users report a boost of energy that makes everyday work look like a breeze and those heavy weights in the gym a bunch of feathers.
But how true are these statements? Guess we'll have to use our big brains and science to find out.
Yes, ZYN nicotine pouches do give you energy. The nicotine in these pouches travels to your nACHRs, which fires your receptors. Your brain releases endorphins, which leads to a rush of adrenaline and more energy.
The science behind this lies in a little something called the adrenal glands. These glands release adrenaline because of nicotine, which leads to increased heart rate and temporary energy levels.

In the long-term, ZYNs can decrease energy levels by decreasing appetite and increasing energy expenditure. According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, it increases resting metabolic rate by 5 to 12%.
ZYNs contain nicotine, which also suppresses your diet and hunger. The lowered diet decreases your energy levels and increases fatigue. You also feel more dehydrated, which makes you less energetic.
ZYN is the leading nicotine pouch brand because of its quality. However, each nicotine pouch brand has its own unique punch, perk, and benefit. Let's look at some of the most popular pouch brands and their benefits compared to ZYNs.
ZYN nicotine pouches are well-known for their consistent quality, including long-lasting flavor and nicotine release. ZYN pouches also offer spectacular flavors with unique products like Gold and Original, which most brands have yet to offer.
VELO nicotine pouches are dryer compared to ZYNs and other brands. These dry pouches offer much longer nicotine and flavor release compared to moist pouches. VELO nicotine pouches also have nicotine free pouches that are perfect for quitting cigarettes and nicotine.
Here are the five benefits of ZYN compared to VELO:
LOOP nicotine pouches use a special technology called Instant Rush. These pouches release nicotine the moment you place these pouches between your upper gums and lip. These pouches are also well known for their unique flavorings, like Jalapeño Lime.
Nicotine is an addictive substance, and excessive use of nicotine products can have adverse effects. Nicotine rewires your reward center and forces your brain to get accustomed to a new high level of dopamine and serotonin.
When you don't use a pouch, your endorphin levels slump to the default state. It is the main reason why nicotine withdrawal is associated with anxiety and depression. A nicotine addiction can also lead to lack of focus, uneasiness, and sleep problems.
Alternatively, some nicotine pouches contain a high nicotine concentration. Using a pouch with a nicotine concentration that exceeds your tolerance could cause overdose.
You should use nicopods because the alternatives have questionable efficacy. Nicopods have proven to be the superior choice for smoking cessation, time and time again. There are different types of flavored nicotine products with various nicotine levels.
People with varying needs can use these different products in Nicotine Replacement Therapies to slowly cut their nicotine intake. Other forms of nicotine and tobacco leaf products do not offer the same benefits.
Vapes and e-liquids are new additions to the world of heated nicotine. They have gained considerable popularity because of their array of youth-friendly flavors. Vapes and e-liquids may not contain tobacco, but their smoke is almost as pernicious to your health as cigarettes.
Vapes are also more addictive than cigs, which means you'll just escape one hell to fall into another. Smoking or vaping should both be off the table if you want to live a healthier life.
Smokeless tobacco products or snus is a form of oral nicotine made with tobacco. According to various studies, snus can be a vital tool in smoking cessation. Snus is also safer than chewing tobacco and other combustible nicotine or tobacco products.
However, excessive tobacco use and poor oral hygiene may cause gum disease and bad breath. Also, tobacco doesn't sit well with all people. Some people have a hard time digesting the effects of tobacco. The flavor of tobacco isn't all that appealing, either.
Okay, so admittedly the taste might be described as ‘awful’ – but it is a matter of taste. For those who like snus, however, snus tastes good, and to experience a taste that you like is a positive effect in itself, whether it comes from snus or mouldy cheese or raspberry jam. The taste is also a big part of the reason why many snus. If it wasn't regarded as a positive effect, it wouldn't matter how the snus tasted, but it does, of course.
At the same time, what is much less obvious is how or if the good taste influences general health. To some extent, we certainly feel good about experiencing positive emotions, but, in the case of raspberry jam, for example, the possible positive effect is probably overshadowed by the negative effect of eating sugar, of which there is reliable evidence.
It is proven that snus can make you calm and increase your concentration, and perhaps even increase your physical performance. Unfortunately, you only get these effects when you start snusing after not having previously done so, or after a longer break.
After a period of regular snusing, the effect ceases. At this point, you start to need snus (or nicotine in some form) to feel calm and be able to concentrate. In other words, you go from having the positive effect of snusing to creating an addiction to it. The positive effect you are feeling at that point may actually be the absence of a negative effect, which has to do with nicotine withdrawal.
An ever stronger chorus of voices is supporting the argument that snus is good for general health. And there is indeed support for that argument, even though it may sound very dubious initially.
Parliamentarians in several European countries, such as Finland and Switzerland, argue that snus should be allowed for public health reasons. The FDA in the USA, meanwhile, has recently classified Swedish snus as "less risky tobacco". In other words, there is a strong case supporting this dubious claim, i.e. that snus is good for public health.
How can this be though? Snus is surely not good for your health, is it? No, that's right. Snusing does indeed pose a number of risks to health. You can read more about the dangers of snus here. At the same time, the claim that snus is good for public health is not based on the assumption that snus is good for health, i.e. the personal health of any one individual, either.
Instead, the underlying facts that make the claim reasonable are as follows: Snus is less harmful to general health than smoking.
The actual argument, in other words, is that increasing snus consumption among the population can improve public health – if this is due to people quitting smoking at the same time. It is not the snus itself that has a positive effect on health, but the change of tobacco product from one that is more harmful to one that is less harmful. The snus thus acts as a smoke cessation aid, a view supported by a later Director General of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, who argued that snus is a suitable replacement for smoking in Swedish publication ‘Läkartidningen’.
And these are not just theoretical thoughts, or pipe dreams (pun intended), either, but rather a development observed in reality and measured in studies. Tobacco-related ill health is much less common in countries where use of snus is more common, like Sweden, for example.
It has been claimed that 200,000 fewer Europeans would die from tobacco-related diseases each year if the whole of the EU had the same levels of smoking as Sweden, where a large proportion of the population uses snus instead. It is also argued that snus can reduce the risk of certain neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's, but the evidence backing up this information is thought to be vague.
