Nicotine pouches are not intended to be swallowed. Remove and dispose of the pouch after use. If a pouch is swallowed—especially by a child, pet, or someone who feels unwell—seek urgent professional advice and provide the product packaging so the nicotine amount and ingredients can be identified.
Key facts
- A pouch is designed for placement under the lip, not ingestion.
- Keep pouches away from children and pets.
- Seek professional advice after accidental ingestion or concerning symptoms.
Accidental ingestion
Do not rely on an online article to assess an individual exposure. Contact NHS 111 or emergency services as appropriate, and keep the can or label available for accurate product details.
Common misconception
The fact that saliva is normally swallowed during use does not make the pouch itself edible.
