Let’s get real—change is moving fast in the UAE. Gone are the days when smoking was just “what everyone did.” Today, health-conscious people from Dubai to Abu Dhabi are switching from cigarettes to a modern alternative: nicotine pouches. No smoke, no ash, no judgement. Imagine getting your nicotine fix during a meeting or at a café without stepping outside. Sounds good, right? Let’s break down why this is happening (no actual fire).
Nicotine Pouches 101: Your Pocket Guide
What Even Are Nicotine Pouches?
Think of them as tiny flavour-packed pillows for your gums. These small, white pouches contain nicotine (but no tobacco!) and are tucked discreetly under your lip. No spitting, no smoke, no smell. Just a smooth nicotine release that kicks in within minutes. For busy people, parents, or anyone who wants to avoid all the hassle of smoking.
How Do They Work?
Just pop a mint in your mouth. Place a pouch between your gum and lip, let it sit, and let the nicotine absorb through your gums. You’ll feel a gentle buzz in 5-10 minutes; it lasts up to an hour. When you’re done, toss the pouch—no ashtray is needed.

Why Nicotine Pouches? Let’s Get Down To It

Forget “plain tobacco.” These pouches come in flavors that’ll make your taste buds dance:
- Minty Fresh (like chewing gum after a meal)
- Zesty Citrus (a tangy pick-me-up)
- Sweet Berry (summer in a pouch)
- Coffee Buzz (your morning cup, minus the jitters)
