CLEW's award-winning nicotine pouches are enjoyed by consumers Worldwide. They are made in cGMP and HACCP-certified facilities, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards.  

They offer satisfying, sustained nicotine delivery with long-lasting flavour and a smooth mouthfeel. Users can enjoy CLEW pouches anytime, anywhere. We have created this guide to help you learn how to use nicotine pouches correctly for the most enjoyment. 

Understanding Nicotine Pouches 

What Are Nicotine Pouches? 

Nicotine pouches are tobacco-free nicotine delivery products that you put under your upper or bottom lip. Unlike traditional tobacco products, you don't need to spit or chew with nicotine pouches. They provide smoke-free and convenient alternative nicotine delivery. 

Nicotine pouches resemble slim white tea bags and fit comfortably between the upper lip and gum. They contain a blend of nicotine, plant fibres, flavourings, ph adjusters, and sometimes sweeteners. CLEW pouches offer a smooth mouthfeel while discreetly delivering nicotine absorbed into the bloodstream through the gum. They are available in a range of different flavours and strengths. 

Preparing to Use Nicotine Pouches 

Preparing to use nicotine pouches is important for a safe and enjoyable experience. If you are a first-time user, choosing from the variety of flavours, the right nicotine strength and knowing where to place the pouch correctly for a more comfortable fit can help you get the most out of the experience. 

Selecting the Best Nicotine Pouch For You 

Within the CLEW collection, flavour choice comes down to individual preference. CLEW Nicotine pouches are available in various flavours to suit every palate. Mint and Menthol options include Cool Mint, Peppermint, Spearmint, Freeze, and Wintergreen. There is a zingy Citrus flavour and a robust Coffee. Fruity flavours include Blueberry and Watermelon and there is an authentic smooth golden Tobacco flavour popular with smokers. 

When choosing the right nicotine strength, think about how much tobacco you use now. If you are a heavy smoker, choose a higher strength. If you smoke lightly, start with a lower level. It can help to try different strengths to see what feels comfortable. You want to balance the nicotine experience with any tingling or strong feelings.  

First-time users should always start low and increase the strength only if needed. 

Step-by-Step Guide: How To Use Nicotine Pouches 

Catch a CLEW 

The CLEW cans consist of two sections: a main compartment that keeps the pouches fresh in a secure and airtight area, and a top compartment or catch-lid for storing used pouches when out and about. 

For the first use, you will need to use your nail to break the seal around the centre of the can. Afterwards, you can simply open the can by squeezing the sides with your thumb and forefinger. 

Lock the Nicotine Pouch Between Your Lip and Gum 

  • Gently insert the nicotine pouch between your upper lip and gum. 

  • Make sure it sits properly for a comfortable fit. 

  • Let the pouch rest without moving it too much. 

Enjoy the tingle   

  • As the CLEW pouch meets saliva, nicotine begins to be released and absorbed through the gum, and you will feel a tingling sensation, which some also refer to as a kick or hit. CLEW pouches have a sustained release, so the flavour and tingling sensations should not fade with the duration of your session. 

  • If you are new to nicotine pouches, even though you have used other nicotine products, we suggest you start with a CLEW pouch with a lower nicotine content (3-6mg) and only keep it in your mouth for 5-15 minutes. As you become more familiar with the process and sensation, you can extend the time you keep the pouch in your mouth to up to 60 minutes and adjust the nicotine strength as you like. 

Withdraw the Pouch 

  • Once you have finished with your CLEW nicotine pouch, it is important to remove it from your mouth and dispose of it responsibly, especially in public areas or on public transport. Do not flush them down the toilet. When there isn't a trash can nearby, you can store used pouches in the small container in the catch lid. 

  • Before recycling the plastic can, please remove any used pouches. Check local rules for the best disposal method in your area. 

How long should I keep a CLEW nicotine pouch in my mouth? 

CLEW Nicotine pouches can be held in the mouth for up to 60 minutes. They offer a sustained nicotine and flavour release for the whole 60-minute period. You can reduce the session length based on your preference and the nicotine strength chosen. 

Are there any restrictions on nicotine pouch usage? 

CLEW pouches are small, discreet, and non-visible, so they can normally be used in all locations, including areas where smoking and vaping are prohibited, such as on public transport. 

However, rules, regulations and age restrictions surrounding the purchase and use of nicotine pouches do vary by territory to ensure that these products are used safely and responsibly. Please check with your local authorities for confirmation in your area. For example, in the United States, you must be 21 years old to buy nicotine pouches. 

Is it safe to use nicotine pouches daily? 

It is safe to use CLEW pouches daily as nicotine pouches are considered a safer alternative to smoking tobacco products. They do not involve combustion, which eliminates the harmful effects of inhaling smoke. 

However, nicotine pouches still contain the addictive chemical nicotine, so they are not risk-free. Like all nicotine products, these pouches must be used responsibly to avoid escalating nicotine dependence. Overuse may lead to gum sensitivity or raised blood pressure, especially when used in high concentrations or for prolonged periods. To keep nicotine pouch side effects to a minimum, choose your strength carefully, especially if you are a first-time pouch user. 

Conclusion 

CLEW nicotine pouches offer an enjoyable, long-lasting and discreet way to enjoy nicotine, but safety and knowledge are important. 

  • Place the pouch correctly under your upper or lower lip.
  • Be aware of local rules about nicotine use, especially in public places.
  • Do not swallow CLEW Nicotine Pouches. You can swallow the spit, but NEVER swallow the pouch itself.
  • Pace Yourself: if you're new to nicotine pouches, you might be wondering how many you can use in a day. The number of pouches you can safely use depends on your individual tolerance to nicotine.
  • Monitor your usage to satisfy cravings while avoiding overuse. If you start feeling dizzy or nauseous while using a CLEW pouch, it may indicate that you've had too much nicotine, and you should remove the pouch immediately. Please get in touch with your local healthcare facility if you experience more severe side effects.
  • Be Responsible. Never spit out or litter your CLEW nicotine pouches, especially in public. Littering is disrespectful and illegal in most territories. Always dispose of CLEW pouches responsibly in the catch lid or a litter bin.
