According to technical specifications outlined by the Swedish Institute for Standards (SIS) 1, it is recommended that nicotine pouches should not exceed 20 milligrams of nicotine per consumable. In response to these standards, several countries 2 have implemented limits, capping nicotine concentration at, or close to 20 milligrams per consumable or per gram of product weight.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nicotine used in nicotine pouches should meet standards equivalent to those of nicotine used in pharmaceutical products (pharmaceutical grade and quality according to USP\/EP).
