How to Use Snus Pouches

If you are a smoker and you find yourself in an environment where smoking is not permitted, snus pouches can help you get your nicotine rush without violating the rules of a nonsmoking environment. Snus pouches are small pouches of tobacco that are placed near the gums so nicotine can be absorbed by the gums. Using a snus pouch properly can ensure you get the most out of these little pouches while doing so as safely as possible.

Instructions

• 1

  Remove a snus pouch from the container and examine it for any holes or rips. If you see any rips, discard the pouch and grab another. The tobacco in snus pouches is meant to stay in the pouch and rips and holes can allow it to spill out into your mouth leading to an unpleasant mess and possibly dangerous ingestion of the pouch's contents.

• 2

  Lift up your upper lip on one side with your fingertips and slide the pouch so that it nestles in between your lip and gums. Push the pouch up in between your lip and gum so that it won't easily slide out. If you feel the pouch slipping, push it up further with your finger.

• 3

  Let the snus pouch sit and don't try to lick it, suck on it, or move it around. Let it sit for up to an hour and then remove. You can continue using the snus pouch for longer than an hour, but it will have lost most of its flavoring.
