These products represent a modern alternative to traditional tobacco consumption, offering a discreet and smoke-free method for nicotine intake. They typically consist of small, pre-portioned pouches containing nicotine and flavoring, designed to be placed between the gum and lip for absorption. The “green apple” descriptor indicates a specific flavor profile intended to mimic the taste of the fruit.
The appeal of such products lies in their convenience and potential harm reduction compared to smoking or chewing tobacco. They provide a controlled dosage of nicotine without the combustion and inhalation of harmful byproducts associated with traditional tobacco use. Historically, these nicotine pouches have emerged as part of a broader trend towards nicotine alternatives, driven by public health concerns and evolving consumer preferences.
