Nicotine pouches, known in Denmark as nikotinposer, are small, tobacco-free pouches placed between your upper lip and gum (tandkød). They release nicotine gradually through the lining of the mouth — no smoke, no spit, and no tobacco leaf. Modern nicotine pouches use pharmaceutical-grade nicotine combined with plant-based fibres, flavouring, and sweeteners, making them one of the fastest-growing tobacco-free alternatives on the Danish market.

This is one of the most common questions Danish customers ask (forskellen på snus og nikotinposer). Traditional snus contains actual tobacco leaf. Nicotine pouches — sometimes called white snus — are completely tobacco-free. Both are used the same way, placed under the lip, but nicotine pouches leave no staining, no tobacco smell, and no smoke. At SnusCore, every pouch in our catalogue is tobacco-free; if you're specifically looking for traditional snus, our snus collection is listed separately.

Place a pouch between your upper lip and gum. No chewing or sucking is required — the pouch works on its own. Within a few minutes you'll typically notice a mild tingling sensation as the nicotine begins to absorb. Most users keep a pouch in for 20–40 minutes, then dispose of it responsibly, either in the bin or the used-pouch compartment built into most cans.

Strength is measured in mg of nicotine per pouch, and under Danish rules the maximum is 9 mg. As a general guide: Low (0–3 mg) suits beginners or light users; Normal (3–6 mg) suits casual, everyday use; and Strong (6–9 mg) suits regular users transitioning from cigarettes. If you're new to nicotine pouches, starting around 4–6 mg is the safest approach.

Denmark regulates nicotine pouches separately from tobacco products. Current rules set a maximum nicotine content of 9 mg per pouch, and packaging must be plain and standardised, with enforcement in effect from April 2026. SnusCore only stocks products for the Danish market that comply with these limits.
