how long does the nicotine last in a nicotine pouch?
Typically, the nicotine in a nicotine pouch is continuously released into the user’s bloodstream over 30-60 minutes.
How long the nicotine lasts in a nicotine pouch depends on:
- The manufacturer – Some brands create pouches catering to those who prefer strong or extra-strong pouches. These tend to last longer than pouches with a lower nicotine content.
- User tolerance – Experienced users may notice pouches ‘lasting’ less than the advertised time on the packet. This can result from having a stronger tolerance to the effects of nicotine.
- The size of the pouch – Larger pouches tend to release nicotine more gradually and for longer periods—up to 60 minutes.
- The nicotine strength – Pouches vary in strength; stronger pouches, like those between 9 mg-13 mg will release their nicotine for longer.

The short answer is yes.
Over time, nicotine pouches will lose their potency and freshness, impacting nicotine intensity, nicotine duration, flavour, and your enjoyment.
Even if stored correctly, pouches will degrade over time, weakening the nicotine effect.
All pouches have a best-before date displayed clearly on the nicotine can. This is typically up to a year after production, but this depends on the manufacturer.
Ensuring proper storage will keep pouches fresher for longer. Manufacturers recommend keeping pouches in a cool, dry, and dark place.
Using ‘expired’ pouches is generally safe, but you may notice a less enjoyable experience compared to fresh pouches.
