I like an Alp pouch when I need an instant hit of nicotine which it delivers well. Generally because I’m a lady I use Nic Nac Natural mints because they are the most natural ones I’ve found and I’ve never had a sore area in my mouth from them and they all taste great. My husband on the other hand likes the alp pouch better because of its quick effect and says it’s the best pouch he’s ever had.
