First Line Pods was established in 2019 and became the first online retail & distributor of the new modern smokeless products in the United Kingdom.

Our growing range of reduced-risk products includes modern and traditional oral products e.g. nicotine pouches, CBD pouches and oral tobacco.

We aim to rid the world of harmful chemicals introduced by smoking tobacco with better and reduced risk solutions as it is widely acknowledged that most of the harm associated with conventional cigarettes is caused by the toxicants in the smoke produced by the burning of tobacco.”

Originating in Scandinavia, Nicotine pouches are the cousin of Swedish tobacco snus but completely free of tobacco! Pre-portioned pouches created with high-quality food-grade ingredients, high purity nicotine, water, flavouring and sweeteners.

Popular in countries such as Sweden, Norway and the US and described by BAT (British American Tobacco) as a modern further reduced risk and product alternative to conventional cigarettes/ vaping. There is no combustion involved in using Nicotine Pouches, meaning you don’t have to worry about the various toxicants that are usually associated with smoking. Nitrosamines (TSNAs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). In addition, you won’t have to deal with the inhalation of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly!

Take out the Nicotine and swap it with CBD and you have CBD pouches, approved by the FDA to address anxiety, help with sleeping and also chronic pain.

Chew bags are traditional cut tobacco in a small pouch designed to be chewed on while releasing a clean, instant hit and powerful tobacco flavour experience.

No, this is not snus and we do not sell snus!

Our products are called nicotine pods/pouches and are used in a similar way to traditional snus, there’s a key difference. Traditional snus contains tobacco, the products we sell are built with natural fibres and are 100% tobacco free.

Snus belongs to a category of traditional oral tobacco products with currently high relevance among tobacco consumers across specific geographies (e.g. Sweden, Norway, USA). 

No the nicotine is absorbed through the gums when placed under your lip. You don’t need to suck or chew the pouches. Unless the product directly states to chew the pouch.
