Frequently Asked Questions

What are Alt nicotine pouches and how do they work?

Alt nicotine pouches are small, tobacco-free pouches that deliver nicotine in a discreet and smoke-free way. You simply place one under your upper lip, where it gradually releases nicotine. There’s no spitting, odour, or staining involved. They're ideal for situations where smoking or vaping isn’t practical, like at work or on public transport.

Are Alt nicotine pouches safe to use? 

While nicotine itself is addictive, Alt pouches are a cleaner alternative to traditional tobacco products. They are smoke-free, spit-free, and don’t involve inhalation. However, they are not risk-free and are intended for adult use only. If you're pregnant, nursing, or have any health conditions, consult your doctor before use.

How long does one pouch last? 

Each Alt nicotine pouch is designed to last between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on your preference and strength. You can keep it in until the flavour or nicotine effect fades. After use, simply dispose of it responsibly in a binnever flush it down the toilet.

Do Alt pouches stain your teeth? 

Unlike tobacco chewing products or smoking, Alt nicotine pouches are white and tobacco-free, which means they don’t cause staining. Because there’s no combustion or tar involved, they’re much gentler on your teeth and gums. However, frequent use of any nicotine product may affect oral health, so regular dental care is still important.

Can I use Alt nicotine pouches while travelling? 

Yes, Alt pouches are travel-friendly and perfect for situations where smoking is not allowed, such as on flights, trains, or buses. They’re discreet and odourless, so you can use them without bothering anyone around you. Just make sure to check nicotine regulations at your destination, especially when travelling abroad.

What strength of nicotine should I choose?

Alt offers nicotine pouches in various strengths to suit different needs. If you're new to nicotine or trying to cut back, start with a lower strength. More experienced users or those switching from cigarettes may prefer a stronger pouch. It’s always best to start low and adjust based on how your body responds.

How should I store Alt nicotine pouches? 

Keep your Alt pouches in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. The can should always be closed properly to maintain freshness. Make sure they’re kept out of reach of children and pets. Avoid storing them in damp areas like bathrooms, as moisture can affect the pouches.

Are Alt nicotine pouches suitable for quitting smoking? 

Alt pouches are not licensed stop-smoking aids, but many people use them as a cleaner alternative while cutting down or quitting. They can help manage nicotine cravings in situations where you’d normally reach for a cigarette. If you’re trying to quit for good, speak to a healthcare provider for personalised advice and support.

Are there any side effects from using nicotine pouches?
