Why mg per pouch and not mg per gram?

Many cans state the nicotine content per gram. How much nicotine you actually have under your lip, however, depends on the weight of the pouch. A 0.8 g pouch at 43 mg/g contains around 34 mg. A 0.65 g pouch at 66 mg/g contains around 43 mg.

That is why mg per pouch is the fair comparison value. Find out more in our guides Nicotine pouch strength explained and Snus dosage and strength in mg.

Cuba Black: how strong is Cuba really?

Which strength suits me?

Experience	Typical range per pouch	Examples
Little experience with nicotine pouches	up to approx. 6 mg	mild VELO flavours, Pablo Silver
Regular users	approx. 8–17 mg	Killa, Odens Extreme, Pablo Gold
Very experienced users	from approx. 25 mg	Pablo Exclusive, Siberia, Iceberg, Cuba Black, KURWA Max

This classification is a guide, not a recommendation. Flavours with 30 mg or more are intended exclusively for adults who are already used to strong nicotine products. If you do not smoke or use nicotine, do not start.

What should you watch out for with extra-strong pouches?

• Do not jump straight in: if you currently use 6–10 mg, do not switch to 40 mg.
• Listen to your body: if you feel dizzy, nauseous or have palpitations, remove the pouch immediately.
• Not several at once: with very strong flavours, one pouch is enough.
• Store safely: always keep cans out of reach of children and pets. In an emergency: Tox Info Suisse 145, emergency number 144.
