Using Nordic Spirit to Quit Smoking

Can I Use Nordic Spirit to Quit Smoking?

Many ex-smokers use nicotine pouches to help quit smoking, and it’s easy to see why. These pouches deliver nicotine without smoke, without harming your lungs, and without the smell of cigarettes or vapour.

“It’s reasonable to expect that these products would be less dangerous than smoking cigarettes,” says Dr Benjamin Chaffee, professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and expert in Tobacco Control Research. 

Nordic Spirit offers a cleaner way to manage cravings. By placing a pouch under your lip, you can satisfy your nicotine needs without smoke and without vaping.

Our customers often tell us how Nordic Spirit helped them leave smoking behind:

• Eddy, 39, Brighton: “I was a heavy smoker, almost 30 a day. I tried patches but missed the ritual. I started with Nordic Spirit Spearmint 3mg, then switched to Mint 11mg, it was the perfect replacement.”
  
• Sarah, 26, Edinburgh: “I only smoked 2–3 a day, but I wanted to quit for good. I tried Nordic Spirit Watermelon 6mg and knew it was the one.”
• Rachel, 29, Bristol: “I tried to quit more than 10 times. I hated chewing gum all day. I needed something discreet for the office, and Nordic Spirit was ideal.”

Looking for a smoke-free alternative to help with quitting? Nordic Spirit could be your next step.

What are Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches? 

Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches are small, white, tobacco-free pouches that deliver nicotine through your gum. There is no smoke, no vapour, and no smell. No need to carry around a lighter either!

This Swedish brand was one of the first to hit UK convenience stores, quickly gaining popularity for its discreet, modern approach to nicotine.

Just place a pouch under your lip and enjoy a steady nicotine release for up to an hour. Perfect for those who want a more convenient alternative to smoking or vaping.

Comparing Smoking, Vaping, and Nicotine Pouches 

Price Comparison

Did you know that a smoker who consumes 20 cigarettes a day spends £4,841.20 on cigarettes a year? That’s a huge financial burden, on top of the health risks.
When you switch to nicotine pouches, you can significantly reduce your monthly and annual expenses while offering a smoke-free, discreet alternative.

Side by Side Cost Comparison

What This Means for You

• Switching from cigarettes to nicotine pouches could save you over £3,000 a year. Enough to go on an extra holiday a year!
• Nicotine pouches often last longer per use than disposable vapes, meaning you need to buy less.
  
• They're a smart choice for people looking to cut costs and cut smoke from their lives at the same time.

If you are a smoker trying to quit or save money, nicotine pouches can help. They provide real benefits for you and your wallet.

Nicotine Content

Not all nicotine products deliver the same amount of nicotine. Whether you're switching from smoking or just exploring alternatives, it's useful to understand how nicotine pouches, vapes, and cigarettes compare in terms of strength and dosage.

What to Know

• Nicotine pouches come in a range of strengths, from mild 3mg pouches to strong 11mg options, allowing you to control your intake.
• Cigarettes typically deliver a more immediate effect, but come with smoke, tar, and well-known health risks.
• Vape nicotine levels vary by strength and size, but disposables usually max out at around 60mg each.

Nicotine Absorption and Delivery

Not all nicotine products deliver nicotine the same way, or at the same speed. The absorption rate, delivery method, and how quickly you feel the effects can influence how satisfied you feel after using a product. Here's how nicotine pouches, cigarettes, and vapes compare.

What This Means

• Cigarettes and vapes both deliver nicotine rapidly via the lungs, creating a quick and intense nicotine experience. This fast absorption contributes to their high addictive potential.
• Nicotine pouches, on the other hand, release nicotine more slowly through the gums. This provides a longer-lasting, controlled experience that’s ideal for managing cravings without smoke or vapour.
• Although the absorption rate is lower, pouches offer a steady release, especially when you choose the right strength.

Why This Matters

• If you're switching from smoking or vaping, understanding absorption differences helps you choose the right strength and format.
• Pouches are ideal for people who want a discreet and long-lasting nicotine experience. They do not require inhalation, making them a lung-friendly choice.

Choosing Your Right Strength

• Light smokers or beginners may prefer 3–6mg pouches to start.
• Heavier smokers looking to switch often opt for 9–11mg pouches for a more satisfying experience.
• If you're switching from vapes or cigarettes, pouches offer comparable levels of nicotine, but in a cleaner, smokeless format.

Health Considerations

While all nicotine products carry some health risks, the type and severity of those risks vary greatly depending on the delivery method and ingredients. Here's how nicotine pouches, cigarettes, and vapes compare from a health perspective:

What You Should Know

• Cigarettes are by far the most harmful option, exposing users to over 7,000 chemicals. This results in serious risks including lung cancer and heart attacks.
• Vapes eliminate combustion, but the inhalation of vapourised chemicals can cause lung irritation. Researchers still study the long-term effects.
• Nicotine pouches, while not risk-free, avoid inhalation. They may cause mild gum irritation or discomfort in the mouth. However, they do not affect lung health. This makes them one of the safer nicotine delivery option.

Social & Practical Use

Let’s be honest, cigarettes and vapes aren’t the easiest habits to manage in today’s social and legal environment. As restrictions grow, fewer public places allow smoking or vaping. Even where it is allowed, you often need to go outside or deal with lingering smells.

In a recent Wombat survey, some users admitted to vaping in unusual places, from public toilets to work desks, just to get their nicotine in. That’s far from ideal.

Why Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches Are a Practical Choice

• Ultra-discreet: No one needs to know you're using one.
• No smell: Pouches leave no trace, on your breath, clothes, or surroundings.
• Use them anywhere: Perfect for work, commuting, social settings, or travel.

Summary

Based on the comparison above, it's clear that nicotine pouches offer a compelling alternative for smokers and vapers who are looking for a cleaner, cost-effective, and discreet nicotine option.

By switching to pouches, you can:

• Reduce harm to your lungs 
• Save money—spending up to £3,000 less per year
• Control your nicotine intake more precisely
• Enjoy nicotine discreetly—without smell or social stigma

Simon's Experience Using Nordic Spirit to Quit Vaping.

Simon was an avid vape user for years. He started vaping at 18 and even admitted to vaping in pub bathrooms and at work.

Like many others, Simon had made several attempts to quit. His go-to strategy was to gradually lower the nicotine strength in his vapes, but he struggled to stick with it. He also tried nicotine patches, but found them uncomfortable and irritating on his skin.

He first saw Nordic Spirit in convenience stores and thought to give them a try. He started with Nordic Spirit Mint 6mg, choosing a mid-strength pouch to test the waters.
“At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” he says. “But the fact that I didn’t need to puff on anything and could just pop one under my lip made it feel effortless.”

Over the next few weeks, Simon noticed a change: the urge to vape gradually disappeared. With pouches, he was able to control his cravings without replacing one habit with another.
“It gave me the satisfaction I needed without the ritual of vaping.”

Now, Simon hasn’t picked up a vape in over six months. He still occasionally uses Nordic Spirit 6mg pouches for some light nicotine, but says he feels in control for the first time in years.
