Abstract
An oral pouch that is constructed of an orally safe natural rubber material that can be packed with any brand or flavor of loose moist snuff, by the individual user. The pouch is sized using scissors for maximum comfort and fit, and once inserted between the lower gum and lip, serves as a barrier between the tobacco product and the lip and gum area, therefore reducing the direct physical contact of the tobacco product against the gum and lip. Because the pouch is perforated, saliva flows through the pouch moistening the tobacco, creating the tobacco juice.
