When salmiak is described as liquorice to most of the Western world, the first thought would take users back to being a child at a sweet shop. But salmiak in nicotine pouches is far from the sweet, sugary snack that people in countries such as the UK and USA are used to.

The rapid growth of nicotine pouches over the last few years has been largely driven by those seeking out a tobacco-free option.
