Velo pouches are small, pre-portioned pouches containing nicotine that are placed under the upper lip to deliver nicotine without the need for smoking or chewing tobacco. The process involves carefully positioning the pouch between the gum and upper lip, allowing the nicotine to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. This method of nicotine consumption offers a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional tobacco products.
The appeal of this approach lies in its smoke-free and spit-free nature, potentially offering a less intrusive option for nicotine users. This characteristic can be particularly advantageous in environments where smoking or vaping is prohibited. Furthermore, the emergence of these pouches reflects an evolving landscape of nicotine delivery methods, driven by desires for alternative consumption patterns and perceived harm reduction.
