Oral smokeless products include nicotine pouches and snus. 

Nicotine pouches are made primarily of nicotine and flavors, while snus contains smokeless tobacco. Both are wrapped in a cellulose pouch, which is placed between the gum and the cheek or upper lip.

The nicotine is then absorbed through the oral mucosa. These smoke-free products are not risk-free and provide nicotine, which is addictive.
