What is VELO?
VELO is a white oral nicotine pouch. The brand originated in Sweden but is now owned by its parent company, British American Tobacco (BAT).
The story of how VELO came to be begins with a brand called EPOK. It was a white snus product that was popular in Sweden and made by a company called Winnington AB. In 2017, EPOK was purchased by BAT.
In 2018, EPOK was discontinued and replaced with two brands with equivalent products. VELO targeted the US market, while LYFT was sold in Europe. Both brands were a hit, but BAT consolidated them under the VELO name and relaunched LYFT with its own line of flavours.
Where are VELO pouches made?
VELO pouches used to be made in Sweden. However, since their acquisition by BAT, they have been made in Europe, chiefly in Denmark and Hungary.
However, because VELO is a huge global brand, they plan to open manufacturing plants worldwide, particularly in the US.
How does VELO work?
VELO nicotine pouches work through a process called oral mucosa absorption. You put a pouch in your mouth, hold it against your lip, and the nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth and into your bloodstream. Simple.
What strength does VELO come in?
VELO comes in many different strengths, but it’s important to remember that it can depend on where you live and your local regulations.

What ingredients do VELO pouches contain?
VELO pouches contain pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, alongside other plant-based materials, and sweeteners and flavourings.
Are VELO pouches snus?
While the two products have similarities, the key difference is that snus contains tobacco, while VELO pouches are tobacco-free.
Are VELO pouches safer than cigarettes?
Yes, Combustible cigarettes have a long history of causing death and illness due to the presence of tar, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene, and about 7,000 other chemicals.
Nicotine pouches don’t contain these properties and are at the opposite end of the scale of relative harm.
