Okay, so the other day I decided to try out those Siberia nicotine pouches. I’d been hearing a lot about them, mostly people saying they’re strong as hell, and yeah, I was curious. Plus, I’ve been trying to cut back on smoking, and I heard these might be a less harmful way to get my nicotine fix.
I got my hands on a can online – pretty easy to find, actually. When it arrived, the first thing I did was check out the can. It’s got this, like, dark and intense look to it. Kinda cool, not gonna lie.
Popped the can open. Inside, there were these little white pouches. They were a little moist, not dry or anything. I grabbed one and stuck it under my upper lip, like I’d seen people do in videos. It felt a little weird at first, but not uncomfortable.
- The Rush: Man, people weren’t kidding about the strength. I felt a rush pretty quickly. It was intense, way stronger than a cigarette. My heart definitely started beating faster.
- The Flavor: It was minty, but there was also this other kind of taste I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Not bad, just… different.
- The Duration: The buzz lasted for a good while, maybe 30-45 minutes. I definitely didn’t feel the need to grab another one right away.
What I Experienced
Now, I’m not a doctor or anything, but I did a little reading before trying these things. I know nicotine is still bad for you, even if it’s not in a cigarette. They say it can mess with your heart, raise your blood pressure, and stuff like that. So, it’s not like these are some kind of health food.
Final Thoughts: Look, I’m not saying everyone should run out and try these. And for sure, if you’re young, stay away. But for me, as someone who’s trying to quit smoking, they were an interesting experience. They definitely pack a punch, and they did help curb my cravings for a cigarette. I’m not gonna use them all the time, but I can see myself reaching for one when I’m really jonesing for a smoke. They are comfortable and not too hard on the gums. I give them a 5/10.
It’s a personal choice, I guess. Just gotta be smart about it and know the risks.
