Nicotine Strength
mg/pouch and mg/g
Milligrams of nicotine in each pouch, or per gram of pouch content. These are the key figures for comparing strength.
Strength Dots
A visual indicator on the can. More dots usually mean more nicotine, but always check the mg figure. See how to read a nicotine pouch can.
Strength Levels
Levels such as low, medium and strong. Browse DZRT by strength: low, medium and strong.
Tolerance and Nicotine Rush
Tolerance is how the body adjusts to nicotine over time. A nicotine rush is a brief light-headed, alert feeling. See what is a nicotine rush?
Usage, Packaging and Storage
Under the Lip
Where pouches are used: between the gum and upper lip. See how to use nicotine pouches.
