So many things have been said about the health effects of cigarettes versus nicotine pouches, that a lot of them have automatically been considered facts. But is everything you’ve learnt about nicotine pouches true? (Short answer: No!).
We at Übbs have decided to bust the myths. Like the ones saying that “nicotine products cause cancer!” and “nicotine pouches aren’t safe”. Fear not; we’re here to cut through the white noise and answer your questions when it comes to the safety of nicotine pouches.
Is Nicotine Addictive?
Yes, nicotine is an addictive substance, but did you know that nicotine pouches are one of the least harmful ways to consume nicotine? It’s actually not the nicotine that is bad for your health, but the smoke from the combustion of the tobacco in a cigarette. When you ignite tobacco, the levels of carcinogens are extremely high.
This is especially true when you smoke a cigarette because you inhale the smoke directly through your lungs. The smoke contains carbon monoxide, tar, and a ton of other toxins that can cause all kinds of serious health problems. These include lung disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and a host of other ailments.
Since nicotine pouches do not require combustion, they do not produce any smoke. Therefore, they do not contain any of the noxious chemicals that come with smoking cigarettes.
Do Nicotine Pouches Cause Cancer?
No, nicotine pouches do not cause cancer. They have no second-hand smoke, whereas cigarettes emit a cloud of toxic particles that can harm you and the people around you! They also contain no tar, which is a sticky substance that clings to the inside of your lungs.
Do Nicotine Pouches Contain Tobacco?
Another common misunderstanding suggests that nicotine pouches contain tobacco. But nothing could be further from the truth because Übbs Nicotine Pouches are 100% tobacco-free. You might be wondering “What’s in the pouches?”. Well, our products only contain water, plant-based materials, flavourings, sweeteners and nicotine (duh). Pouches that do contain tobacco are known as snus, not be confused with our tobacco-free pouches!
Do Nicotine Pouches Cause Gum Disease?
This is another myth that needs to be discussed. A lot of people believe that nicotine pouches will destroy your gums, but there’s not enough research to prove it. What we do know is, they are certainly not as harmful as cigarettes. Cigarettes, along with bad oral hygiene and excessive sugar consumption are just a few of the leading causes of gum disease.
Here at Übbs, we only recommend keeping in your pouch for 30 minutes at a time to avoid plaque from food and drink accumulating and irritating your gums.
