How Do You Use NIIN Primed Pouches?

As a hands-free, orally consumed product, NIIN Primed Pouches™ are convenient and easy to use.

To use NIIN Primed Pouches, simply take a single pouch from the tin and place it between the gum and inner lip. As the nicotine begins to release, you’ll notice a warm, tingling sensation.

Depending on your preference, keep the pouch in between the gum and inner lip for 10 to 30 minutes.

DO NOT SWALLOW. THROW AWAY AFTER USE.

What is Tobacco Free Nicotine (TFN®)?

Tobacco-Free Nicotine (TFN®) is synthetic nicotine that is not derived from the tobacco leaf, stem, reconstituted sheet, expanded, or post-production waste dust.

The nicotine is manufactured at an industrial scale at a cGMP-approved pharmaceutical synthetic ingredient manufacturing facility using a patented manufacturing process that begins with a natural starter material and progressively builds around the molecules of that material to create pure, non-tobacco-derived nicotine.

As such, Tobacco Free Nicotine does not contain any tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs).

What Makes NIIN Primed Pouches Different From Other Nicotine Pouches?

NIIN was founded on the principles of innovation and progress. In fact, the name “NIIN” actually stands for “Nicotine Innovated.”

As a forward-thinking company that aims to pave the future towards a world beyond the tobacco leaf, product differentiation wasn’t simply an option–it was essential.

While there is a wide variety of differences between NIIN Primed Pouches™ and other nicotine pouches, here are some of the key differences:

• Our nicotine pouches are made with Tobacco-Free Nicotine (TFN®). Most others are made with some form of generic, tobacco-derived nicotine. While further research is needed to evaluate the health impact of nicotine pouches, the absence of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), which are thought to be some of the most potent carcinogens found in tobacco, is certainly an improvement.
• While most other nicotine pouch brands offer dry portion pouches, NIIN Primed Pouches are moist-portioned pouches. While dry portion pouches rely on the saliva in the mouth to activate the release of nicotine, moist portion pouches are manufactured using pre-moistening technology, which allows for an almost instant release of nicotine.
• NIIN Primed Pouches are larger (34mm in size) than most other nicotine pouches and feature superior construction and refined material for better mouthfeel and optimal comfort.

What is Synthetic Nicotine and How Does It Differ From Traditional Nicotine?

Tobacco-derived nicotine is derived from various parts of the tobacco plant. Synthetic nicotine, on the other hand, is completely synthesized within a certified laboratory.

On a molecular level, synthetic nicotine and tobacco-derived nicotine feature the exact same chemical structure; however, synthetic nicotine does not contain any tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs).

As a pure form of nicotine, TFN® synthetic nicotine may offer higher nicotine satisfaction with potentially less risk than tobacco-derived nicotine. In addition, while tobacco-derived nicotine often features a strong pungent odor and taste, synthetic nicotine is virtually tasteless and odorless.

On a final note, it is important to note that tobacco cultivation (which is commonly very subsidized) can be very damaging to the environment and is often a process that is highly labor-intensive, cumbersome, and wasteful.

As a non-tobacco-derived resource, we believe TFN® synthetic nicotine should be able to provide a much-needed solution.
