TIL the nicotine pouches I've been using are supposed to be placed in the mouth and tucked under the upper lips.

I've been sticking them in my nose like a cottonball and they somehow still work and perk me up. Tried doing it the proper way and it trickles this unworldly saccharine and fragrant flavor down the tongue then into the throat. It kicks the same way but damn it makes me gag.

If the nose thing works better for you i say go for it!
