💡 Know Your NRT: Ni****ne Pouches
-
Have you heard about ni****ne pouches? Maybe you've given them a try, they've been around for a few years (since 2023)! But did you know that only Zonnic ni****ne pouches are approved by Health Canada as a Ni****ne Replacement Therapy? That means they meet national safety, quality, and functional standards. They are also regulated, kept at a maximum dose of 4mg, sold only to 18+, and only available to purchase over the counter at pharmacies (no prescription needed).
-
Wondering what they're made of? Mostly cellulose, which is a plant fibre, plus sweeteners, flavour, and ni****ne.
-
Pros: discreet, easy to use, intensely minty for folks who like the menthol burn feeling
-
Cons: intensely minty for folks who don't like the menthol burn, irritation if not staying hydrated or keeping pouch in same location
-
What other questions do you have about pouches? Have you used them to help quit or cut back on va**ng or smoking?
