NicoKick is a Swedish brand that sells smokeless and tobacco-free nicotine pouches to help those looking for an alternative to smoking or e-cigarettes. The pouches are an iteration of the Swedish 'snus' -- these are pouches that are placed one's lips and gums for nicotine.
The ones by NicoKick are described to be "smokeless, spit-free, and discreet." The Velo Mint 4mg pouches contain no tobacco leaf or any other tobacco plant matter at all. The Velo nicotine pouch becomes moist in the mouth and releases a slightly heated sensation that can also be described as tingly and travels down to the throat to create a unique experience that does not have the harms of tobacco.
