How to choose the right one for you

Match the pouch to your habit. If you are new or a light user, start in the low band (up to 6mg) with a flavour you already enjoy. Regular users tend to settle in the medium to strong bands, while heavy ex-smokers often want strong or extra strong. Format matters too: a Mini is discreet and gentler, a slim releases for longer.
