If you use nicotine pouches, you must understand strength labels.
Many users misread them.
That leads to poor choices.
This guide explains mg per pouch and mg per gram.
You will see real UK product examples.
You will know exactly what you are using.
What mg per pouch means
Mg per pouch shows how much nicotine is inside one pouch.
This is the most important number for users.
If a product says 11 mg per pouch, one pouch delivers 11 mg of nicotine.
You compare products using this value.
It reflects real usage.
What mg per gram means
Mg per gram shows nicotine concentration by weight.
This number depends on pouch size.
Smaller pouches can feel strong even with lower total nicotine.
Larger pouches can deliver more nicotine even at lower concentration.
You must read this together with mg per pouch.
Why people get confused
Some brands highlight mg per gram.
Others highlight mg per pouch.
Two products can show different numbers but feel similar.
This happens because pouch weight changes the result.
The rule you should follow
If you are choosing a pouch to use, focus on mg per pouch.
If you compare formulas, check mg per gram.
Mg per pouch equals strength per use.
Mg per gram equals concentration.
