Zyn nicotine pouches. Wow. If you aren't able to vape in a particular place or time, these things kick hiney. tobacco free nic salt pouches use like snus. They come in 3 and 6mg. 4 flavors, and of course I like peppermint best. tobacco, cinnamon and menthol are the other choices. I know this is not vape related but....ya know? Its doable in the right circumstances. And I never had hiccups from nicotine until today. These things a powerful and stop a craving fast. Ok, back to vaping again, carry on...

So I wonder... Does the FDA consider this to be a "tobacco product"?

4 flavors, and of course I like peppermint best. Tobacco, cinnamon and menthol are the other choices.
Their website states:
ZYN Tobacco-Free Nicotine Pouches are available in seven flavors (Cool Mint, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Spearmint, Cinnamon, Coffee and Citrus) and two unflavored varieties (Smooth and Chill).

I know this is not vape related but....
There is a section for such things (probably somewhere in here but there's not much life in the two most likely sub-sections.

    I have a pack that I bought for flying, worked well on the plane I wasn't going crazy like usual. Actually just by chance I decided to break one out today at work because I had a really mean craving my short vape breaks weren't cutting. Did the trick.

    Also... as far as the FDA things goes one thing I did find interesting is they say "CONTAINS: Nicotine salt derived from tobacco along with other food-grade ingredients (flavoring, ph adjusters, stabilizers, fillers & sweeteners)" right on the packaging. I have a feeling they're gonna get hit with the deeming stick too, they're just newer.

    I have cool mint, not sure if that's what you called peppermint, but yeah they're pretty tasty.

    The only reason I even looked into these is that I was sneaking a vape off a pod at work and some nosey coworkers told on me so I had to stop doing that. Since these are not tobacco, I thought I'd give them a whirl. And honestly, I'm impressed. Except for the price, of course. Bout the same as a pack of smokes but I'm only using them at my desk at work. I still go outside on breaks to vape but for inside use, I'm liking these

    Tried similar to zyn pouch once, it was not the strongest one in the line, mid strength one.
    In 2 minutes after I took it I started to see the world like after a night in a bar. 15-20 mins and the effect was gone. These things are pretty strong and the amount of nic delivered is high.
    I'd compare taking 1 pouch to smoking 10 cigs in a row in terms of nic delivery.
    Pouches are not for me I guess.

    The cool mint seems to be menthol. There is a peppermint one too.

    It depends. Some "all white" snus being manufactured wherever it I (I was informed last time Sweden and Switzerland are not the same and I believe it) are really nic pouches in disguise -- nic on some stuff like sawdust with flavors. Half are being marketed as nicotine pouches the other half as snus (they are labeled as a tobacco product on most sites) and the only white snus you can get which has actual TOBACCO in it (hence, alkaloids) is good old general G4.

    It's working out great for me (it's all white, so no accidental issues with snus in the corner of my mouth) but I had to research pretty hard, etc.

    IDK about the USA stuff, but I cannot imagine it would not be considered a tobacco product honestly.

    You kind of had to watch out with that mucosal membrane stuff. Some of it can make you pretty sick, depending on your nic tolerance. The only time I ever puked from nic sickness was using the strongest "Thunder" pouch, which to be fair, has a TON of nic in it, like REALLY a lot.

    I've been using ZYN nicotine pouches off and on for at least 6 months. I use them when I can't vape, too. For example, at a basketball game or staying in a no-smoking motel. I use the 6mg coffee or cinnamon flavors. They work well for a shorter period of time; they wouldn't replace my vaping habit.

    Put one between your gum and cheek and let your mucous membranes absorb the nic. Will need to be replaced once the flavor is gone.

    I've also used a similar product called ON! I like ZYN better.

    Just a thought... couldn't you just use some nic juice orally (your own favorite flavor)? Very easy to carry a small bottle with you (and most people would think it was just breath drops)
    Yeah I tried that with 50mg candy cane. Burned all the way down my throat lol

    Actually I've seen a lot more people that I would have expected on ECF say that they put e-juice under their tongue on planes and such. Seems to work for them.

    Unless doing that is enough to overwhelm your puke reflex (I suppose it could be the case for some kiddos, I mean I have drank RIGHT past vomit into a blackout) well,, they're just going to puke them up..

    That is what happens. I have puked with TWO really strong snus pouches in a row, and my nic tolerance is not bad and yeah, I did swallow one of them.

    Wes quite proud to make it to my bath tub (there are worse places to puke) but that much nic is a poison and nic also happens to be a violent emetic.

    Stupid kids though but what is new.
