6 Ways Your Nicotine Pouch Habit Might Be Harming Your Health
and the clean, nicotine-free alternative former zyners are using instead
1. They May be Raising your Blood pressure
Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, which means it narrows your blood vessels and can lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure. So even if you watch your diet and hit the gym, your nicotine habit may be working against you the whole time.
"Nicotine acutely increases heart rate and blood pressure and constricts blood vessels in the skin and diseased coronary arteries."
— American Heart Association
2. They may be harming your oral health
Nicotine pouches have been linked to gum irritation, inflammation, and even recession. You may not notice the damage your pouches do every day, but your dentist will, and by the time they say something, the damage may already be done.
"Nicotine pouch use may cause localized gingival recession and mucosal pathology."
— BMC Oral Health
3. They may be aging your skin faster
Remember that vasoconstriction we mentioned? It doesn't just hurt your heart. It can also age your skin by reducing the blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients your body needs to produce collagen and keep you looking healthy.
"Nicotine induces vasoconstriction .... delays wound healing, and accelerates skin aging."
— Experimental Dermatology
4. They may be affecting your sex life
This one's a little more personal. Nicotine has been linked to impaired nitric oxide production, which is the molecule your body needs to maintain an erection. If you don't want to disappoint your partner, it might be time to ditch the pouch.
"Nicotine significantly reduced erectile responses ... corresponding to a 23% reduction in physiological sexual arousal. This occurred in 16 / 20 men."
— Journal of Sexual Medicine
5. They may be hurting your sleep
Nicotine is a stimulant, and stimulants and sleep don't mix. Research shows nicotine may increase the time it takes you to fall asleep and hurt your sleep quality. No wonder you've been feeling like a zombie and burning through three cups of coffee just to get through the day.
"Nicotine consumption [causes] increased sleep latency, sleep fragmentation and decreased slow wave sleep with reduced sleep efficiency and increased daytime sleepiness."
— Sleep Medicine Reviews
6. They may be damaging your dopamine receptors
Every pouch gives your brain a little dopamine hit, which over time may lower your natural dopamine sensitivity. The result? Everyday things that used to make you feel good start to feel bland, and you need a ZYN in just to feel normal.
"Withdrawal from nicotine pouches is characterized by dopaminergic dysregulation ... leading to irritability, cravings, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating"
— PMC / NIH
Do Those Side Effects Worry You?
They worried us too.
Growing up, we watched our dad try (and fail) to quit dipping over and over again.
Somewhere along the way, we got hooked too.
This went on for years, until we started reading the research on nicotine pouches.
We knew we had to quit. But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't do it.
The habit and mouth feel was too locked into our muscle memory.
That's why we Crafted pure pouches
We spent two years researching and crafting a pouch that we could actually feel good about.
One that gave us the same pouch and mouth feel we were used to, without the ingredients we were trying to get away from.
That's why you won't find the nicotine, artificial flavors, and bullsh*t from other brands here.
Just nootropics and natural ingredients.
Don't just take our word for it
“I used to wake up and pop a Zyn with a coffee to kick off work. Would get headaches and the "buzz" didn't really last
Started using Pure Pouches for a month and immediately noticed the difference
I'm way more locked in
I don't get the headaches
I can literally just breeze through sh*t"
