Quick answer: MELTA makes nicotine strips rather than pouches: thin tobacco-free strips at 2mg each that dissolve on the tongue or against the gum in a few minutes, with nothing to take out. Seven flavours are sold in the UK (Spearmint, Peppermint, Vanilla, Strawberry, Raspberry, Banana and Orange) at £4.29 a pack. It is the lightest nicotine product we list and suits light users and people tapering off.
MELTA sits on our nicotine pouches hub because people shop for it alongside pouches and use it for the same reasons, but it is a different format and worth understanding before you buy. There is no pouch, no fibre and no 20-minute session. A strip is more like a breath strip with nicotine in it.
Who makes MELTA
MELTA does not publish much about where it is made, so here is what the pack tells you. Each strip is a small, flat film that melts in the mouth, hence the name. The nicotine is 2mg per strip, the strips are tobacco-free, and the flavour is light and short. The pack is slim enough to live in a wallet, which is part of the appeal: nothing to spit, nothing to bin, nothing to explain.
Because the strip dissolves, the nicotine is absorbed over three to five minutes rather than released steadily over half an hour. You get a small, quick lift and then it is gone. That is the format's strength and its limit.
MELTA lines and strengths
One strength, seven flavours.
- Mint: Spearmint and Peppermint. The two most popular and the ones to try first.
- Fruit: Strawberry, Raspberry, Banana and Orange. Sweet and short-lived.
- Vanilla: soft and dessert-like, and the one that tastes least like a nicotine product.
At 2mg a strip, the whole range sits at the bottom of the low band. For context, a 6mg starter pouch has three times the nicotine, and a 20mg pouch has ten times. A MELTA strip is a very small dose by design.

Who MELTA suits
People tapering off nicotine are the main group. If you have come down through 9mg, 6mg and 3mg pouches and want a final step before zero, a 2mg strip is as low as a UK nicotine product goes. It also fits a different pattern of use: a strip when a craving hits rather than a pouch on a schedule.
Very light users are the second group. If you smoke one or two a day, or only at the pub, a 2mg strip matches that level without the overkill of a 6mg pouch.
People who cannot use a pouch are the third. Some jobs, sports and situations make a visible lip bulge or a 30-minute pouch awkward. A strip dissolves in minutes and leaves no trace.
MELTA does not suit regular pouch users. Anyone on 6mg and above will find a strip barely registers, and chaining strips to get there is a poor use of money. It does not suit beginners looking for their first proper pouch either, because it is not a pouch and will not teach you how one feels. For that, start with a 3mg or 4mg pouch from Nic Nac or Kelly White.
MELTA compared
Nic Nac is the closest pouch in strength, at 3mg, and the natural step up from MELTA. It gives you the real pouch experience (20 to 30 minutes, slow release) at a dose only slightly above a strip. If you find strips too fleeting, Nic Nac is where to go.
ZYN is the other low-end option, with 1.5mg and 3mg mini pouches that are small enough to be nearly as discreet as a strip. ZYN's advantage is the ladder above it: once you are on a 3mg ZYN you can move to 6mg and 9.5mg in the same brand. MELTA has no ladder, which is fine if you are heading down, and a dead end if you are heading up.
Buying MELTA nicotine strips in the UK
MELTA packs are £4.29, with multipacks lowering the per-pack price. Order before 8:30pm for same day dispatch, and delivery is free on orders over £20.
Our MELTA stock comes through official UK distribution, so each strip contains the 2mg stated. You must be 18 or over to buy, and we verify age at checkout. Nicotine is addictive at any dose, including 2mg, and a strip this light is still not a reason for a non-user to start. MELTA is for people who already use nicotine and want less of it, or a more discreet way to take it.
If stepping down is the goal, our guide on how to step down nicotine pouch strength explains how to use a 2mg product as the last rung.
Frequently asked questions
Is MELTA a nicotine pouch?
No. MELTA is a nicotine strip. It is a thin film that dissolves in the mouth in a few minutes. There is no pouch to place or remove. It is listed with pouches because people buy it for the same reasons and compare it against low strength pouches.
How strong is MELTA?
2mg per strip. That is a third of a 6mg starter pouch and the lowest dose nicotine product we list. The hit is quick and small.
How do you use a MELTA strip?
Place it on your tongue or against your gum and let it dissolve. It takes three to five minutes. Do not chew it or wash it down with a drink, since that shortens the absorption and wastes the strip.
How long does a MELTA strip last?
A few minutes to dissolve, and a lift that fades within 10 to 15 minutes. It is not a 30-minute session like a pouch. If you want something that lasts, a 3mg Nic Nac or ZYN pouch is the better choice.
Can I use MELTA to quit nicotine?
It is a common last step. The 2mg dose is low enough to taper from, and the format breaks the pouch habit at the same time. For help stopping completely, your GP or the NHS stop smoking service can advise.
