In fact, 25 percent of NicoKick customers quit tobacco without even intending to after using our products. No previous method, tool, or product has before been able to show such a positive result. Nicotine pouches provide an opportunity to save lives worldwide, and it is critical that policymakers take into consideration the important role these products can play in helping smokers quit for good."

Of these former smokers, 34% were actively trying to quit smoking when they started using nicotine pouches and 25% of these nicotine pouch users quit using tobacco without having the intention of doing so, also known as "unintended quitters."
