Health Factors
Risks: VELO pouches contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can cause increased heart rate and blood pressure. Some users have reported temporary gum irritation, dry mouth, or a stinging sensation at the nicotine pouch location after use. This product is not suitable for teenagers, young adults, or pregnant women.
Reduce harm: VELO contains no tobacco leaves, produces no smoke, and avoids combustion byproducts and inhalation; however, no nicotine product is completely risk-free, and these products are not approved smoking cessation aids.
