How to Use Nicotine Pouches: Best Placement, Duration, and User FAQ

Nicotine Pouch Basics: What to Know Before You Start

Nicotine pouches are small, tobacco-free oral products intended for placement in the mouth between the upper lip and gum. They contain nicotine, but not tobacco leaf or other tobacco plant material.

Before using any nicotine pouch, adults should:

• Read all packaging and usage instructions carefully.
• Check the labeled nicotine strength on the can.
• Follow the manufacturer’s placement and timing guidance.

Nicotine pouches are for adult nicotine users only. They are not intended for minors or for people who do not already use nicotine.

ZYLO nicotine pouches are labeled as tobacco-free and smoke-free. Tobacco-free does not mean nicotine-free, and smoke-free does not mean risk-free.

ZYLO Nicotine Pouch Use: What’s Unique?

Labeled Nicotine Strengths

ZYLO nicotine pouches are offered in displayed nicotine strengths of:

• 3 mg

Tobacco-free does not mean nicotine-free. Smoke-free does not mean risk-free or safe.

Moisture Format

ZYLO’s format is labeled as Standard moisture. This describes the pouch’s moisture format and does not function as a health, speed, or performance claim.

Beginner Tips: First-Time Placement Advice

If you are an adult using nicotine pouches for the first time, placement and basic handling are the most important points to get right.

• Place the pouch between your upper lip and gum, not under the tongue or elsewhere in the mouth.
• Do not chew, suck aggressively, or swallow the pouch.
• Start with a comfortable spot on one side of your upper gum line; you can adjust slightly if it feels awkward.
• Read and follow all placement and timing instructions printed on your specific pouch can.
• If you are unsure about any step, refer back to the packaging guidance.

These basics apply to ZYLO and to nicotine pouches in general, unless a particular product’s label states otherwise.
